National Talkblack 290823

We had:

Dr Emma Nicole, Senior project coordinator with the National Indigenous Disaster Resilience Project, talking about how the Inaugural National Indigenous Disaster Resilience Summit calls for more inclusion in planning. “When there are decisions made about the safety of communities and about protecting land, we don’t just need Indigenous voices at the table, we need Indigenous people setting the table,” Dr McNicol said. https://www.abc.net.au/…/qld-national…/102756590

Karen Dwyer, Clinical Director at Kidney Health Australia, talking about the silent killer on the rise, 1.8 million Australians are unaware they have kidney disease. Karen says “If we look at Australia as a whole, the prevalence is one in ten, but if we look at Indigenous people, it’s one in five.”

Matt McKay, CEO of Royal Rehab, talking about the Revolutionary new Allied Health Hub to launch in Cairns, offering immersive technology experience. It is designed for individuals living with disabilities, recovering from illness or injury, managing chronic conditions, or seeking to improve their well-being and independence.
