Marley is a proud descendant of the Wiradjuri and Yuwaalaraay nations and can often be found photographing barefoot, climbing trees or getting muddy to get the perfect capture. We asked Marley to share what this weeks NAIDOC Week theme 'Always Was, Always Will Be' means to her:... "NAIDOC to me is about community and coming together to celebrate black excellence, language, connection to Country, cultural identity and our 65,000 plus years of survival.

21.01.2022 In 2006, Rod set sail on a windsurfing adventure down the Murray River.

Read Rods full story here >> https://bit.ly/2QFTShn It has been an amazing ride, and I am grateful for the endless support from my family and the generous land crews. For me, the trip has been much more than a sporting adventure. I have ...met incredible people and raised awareness for an important cause. My family has worked for this not-for-profit organisation, and I feel proud to have helped people realise that we can do more to close the health and life expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, and we can do this together. #MakingADifference #NotForProfit #DonateToday Donate to the AH&MRC and help support better health outcomes for Aboriginal people >> https://bit.ly/34A3m5E

12.01.2022 Hello, my name is Siena Bhuiyan and my tribe is the Anaiwan tribe, but I live on the lands of the Dharawal people. My inspiration for this artwork is the Aboriginal nurses and the winter season. Our Aboriginal nurses play a very important role when it comes to Aboriginal health issues. They are the friendly faces that remind us of all our mothers who look after our wellbeing from the very moment we are created. I use bright and vibrant colours to show the warm and friendly e...nvironment we can experience when getting our flu shot and I use symbols like gathering of tribes and water hole with the raining of dots to show we are now in the winter season. The winter season is here now, and we all need to be careful especially now with COVID 19.

This picture is about a mother who takes her daughter to the doctors to get her immunisation, to stop her from catching something which will make her sick, and pass her sickness on to other kids in our community. My mum has done this for my brothers and sisters, as well as myself. The doctor gave t...he little girl a lolly after her needle because she was brave and didnt cry.

06.01.2022 Phillip Naden was nominated for AH&MRC’s Portrait Series for his role in improving access to health services for Aboriginal people across NSW in his role as both CEO of Coonamble Aboriginal Health Service and Dubbo Regional Aboriginal Health Service. We asked Phillip to share what this year's theme 'Always Was, Always Will Be' means to him: As a young 47-year-old man, yet to hit the milestone of Eldership, I reflect on two times in my life that feel worlds apart; my youth an...d now. Always Was, Always Will Be were not words I heard as a young person, but as time goes on and my living status, memory and tradition changes, so to have our conversations. As a young man I grew up not fully understanding the true impact of who we are as people because our lives, through colonisation and policy, were controlled to a point whereby we were taught to think a certain way and put behind us the history of our ancestors.
