Vale Dr Rosalind Terry (1 July 1940 - 31 January 2025).

In an era when women's foray into medicine was uncommon, Rosalind emerged as an inspiration.

Born in 1940, she was not only the first in her family to attend university but also a trailblazer for women in the medical field. Her journey, rich with challenges and triumphs, is a testament to her unwavering belief, determination and the invaluable support of her advocates.

It all started with a bold step by her mother, who secretly arranged for her to sit a scholarship exam for Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC) in Melbourne.
