Tribe from South West Queensland. Lizzie is the Chief Executive Officer of Goolburri Aboriginal Health Advancement Co Ltd. Lizzie’s professional journey began with a nursing career ignited by a passion for improving healthcare outcomes for her people. This love to help others expanded into an amazing career that sees Lizzie now running a large Aboriginal Community Controlled Health and Social Care Organisation delivering a wide range of health, healing and wellbeing, oral health, aged care, disability care, early learning and child safety services across the Darling Downs and Western Queensland regions. Lizzie has grown Goolburri over the past 15 years from a 4 person fledgling service embracing self-determination to a large, effective Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation with over 80 employees delivering measurable outcomes for the people and communities they serve. Lizzie continues to innovate and plan strategic service sector improvements which in recent years has seen her advancing the development of place based integrated approaches to health and social care service delivery. Lizzie is also the Executive Director of the Jaydon Adams Memorial Foundation, set up in memory of her son. The Foundation seeks to address the social determinants that impact Aboriginal youths and families through participation and encouragement of individual and family decision making. Lizzie has contributed significantly to Aboriginal Affairs since the young age of 17 and later via a number of leadership roles at local, regional, state and national levels. These positions include: Chairperson of the Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council (QAIHC) six years Chairperson of Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Child Protection Peak (QATSICPP) six years Director of the National Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (NACCHO). Director of the Board of the Ipswich Jets Rugby League Club Lizzie has also been a participant of the Australian Caucus of Indigenous NGO’s at the annual United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues held at the UN Headquarters in New York.

06.01.2022 Appreciation Post before the end of Local Government Election for Toowoomba Region. A Thank You Message To Fellow Candidates and Voter's I want to thank you al...l from the bottom of my heart for your continued support through the sharing of information, recording of community events, removal of vandalised signs & most of all the friendships developed throughout this journey of mine. If I am successful in being elected to get a seat at the table for Toowoomba Regional Council I will represent the region wholeheartedly in the best interest of all the people & communities, however I am a realist & always have a Plan B - therefore if I am unsuccessful I will continue to do the same in an informal manner that I have always done in my work & personal life within our communities. Not sure about you all but as tough as I am I have been emotional & overwhelmed from the good lucks & well wishes of phone calls & messages received this morning. Those are from yourselves & the people of our communities. I may have met some of the well wishes once or I haven't met them at all, so I guess this indicates that the people are still listening to us even though we haven't been able to canvas ourselves in a normally run campaign. Even COVID-19 couldn't stop the peoples interest in us. Finally no matter the outcome for me, however I ask you this one (1) question "If you are successfully elected to the Toowoomba Regional Council & while sitting at the table please don't forget us, the most disadvantaged & most vulnerable people of this Region & believe it or not we love it just as much as you." Remember we also invest our money & living expenses into the local business & economy of this Region." Thank you all for being on this journey with me I shall never forget it 28th March 2020
