Highlights of the conference included hearing about research from our First Nations colleagues Dr Brooke Conley and Blayne Arnold, both physiotherapists, academics and the Council’s accreditation assessors.
Several of our team headed out on the bus for the offsite cultural tour to deeply connect with culture and country. Others attended the allyship workshop to deepen our understanding of how to be genuine allies.
As one of the keynote speakers, Francis Nona shared his research and advocacy about climate impact on Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are grateful for his contribution to the Council’s assessment committee, bringing his knowledge, wisdom and voice.
We enjoyed being with our friends, Fiona Murray and Sherry Savage again. These colleagues have played an important role as Advisors informing our reconciliation journey and framework.
During the conference, we engaged with key stakeholders from the physiotherapy profession, including the Physiotherapy Board of Australia Board member Carolyn O'Mahoney and Executive Officer Genevieve Mati and APA President Rik Dawson.
Connections across other allied professions were strengthened and deepened in our shared commitment to IAHA and to improving health and wellbeing for First Nations communities.
