Congratulations to 2025 Lowitja O'Donoghue Foundation Nursing Scholarship recipient – Sarah Hummel, Bachelor of Nursing, Monash University VIC

“The scholarship is invaluable in helping me complete my studies, while balancing the responsibilities of being a mother of three and managing a household. It not only supports my journey but also inspires my children to pursue their own aspirations, showing them the power of resilience and education.”

If you missed out on yesterday's webinar hosted by The Lowitja Journal, the recording is now on our YouTube channel: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0kzyL0

In this webinar, Distinguished Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith spoke about the importance of theory as a project of decolonising and Re-Indigenising our worlds. She explored this through living a life of theory rather than pursuing a career of theory and what that may entail.

Be sure to sign up for the next Lowitja Journal webinar on 3 Dec, to hear from Dr. Joanne Luke: https://ap1.hubs.ly/y0kzfk0

Today is the second anniversary of the referendum that asked all Australians on whether to enshrine a national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice into the Australian Constitution. Our Co-Patron Pat Anderson AO, as co-chair with Professor Megan Davis of the Uluru Dialogue, said the The Uluru Statement from the Heart was a gift to the nation.

The outcome of the referendum was not what we were hoping for, but we urge the 6.2 million that voted with us to continue to support the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

We will not be silent when it comes to issues that affect the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We will keep the conversation going.

We will continue to improve mechanisms towards closing the gap.

We must hold all levels of government to account.

While we mourn the loss of the Voice to Parliament Referendum, out of the ashes rises new opportunities for truth and treaty.

Walk with us and Stay True to Uluru! 🖤💛❤️
