22.01.2022 Meet Kiri she recently joined Metro North Hospital and Health Service as part of the Indigenous Allied Health Cadetship Program. Kiri is a proud descendant of the Djabera Djabera tribe from the Kimberley, WA and is studying Medical Laboratory Science at QUT (Queensland University of Technology). I hope to promote the Medical lab science degree and career to the community as it is not very well-known. I believe we are slowly growing our representation in the science f...ield, so I am passionate about getting more of our young people engaged with hands on science. My biggest advice is to go for any opportunities that you can commit to, whether it be through Uni, or applying for a traineeship or cadetship through another organisation such as this one. Every opportunity I've been involved with through my time at University has always grown to other invaluable opportunities and experiences, academically and culturally. #BetterTogether #Indigenoushealth #closethegap

17.01.2022 We can all be F.A.S.T. Heroes! This National Stroke Week (Aug 31-Sept 6) Stroke Foundation is urging Australians from all walks of life to become the next generation of F.A.S.T. Heroes. A F.A.S.T. hero is anyone who can help save a life simply by knowing how to recognise the F.A.S.T. (Face. Arms. Speech and Time) signs of stroke. When a stroke happens, brain cells start dying at a frightening rate of up to 1.9 million per minute, but medical treatments can stop this damage. The message is simple Time is brain. The faster you can be treated after stroke, the more chance you have of making a full recovery. https://bit.ly/3fc8dMb #strokeweek2020

13.01.2022 Meet our Indigenous Allied Health Cadet Whitney . She is Whadjuk and Ballardong from her mothers side and Kamilaroi and Barkingji on her fathers side.
