NAIDOC Week: Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursary Celebration – 5 July 2022

Joint Celebration

During NAIDOC week, there will be a joint celebration  for the 2021 Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursary Recipients in Brisbane on Tuesday 5 July 2022. We will also be celebrating the launch of the inaugural 2022 National Council of Women of Qld (NCWQ) Queensland Medical Women’s Society (QMWS) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Bursary sponsored by Mater.

All members of AFMW are warmly invited to participate in this event, either virtually or in person.

We are grateful to the sponsors and representatives of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations who have been integral to the organisation of this event. And to the three 2021 Bursary recipients, who are currently working in Queensland (Adjunct Prof Sarah McEwan and Dr Kerby Siemsen ) and the Northern Territory (Dr Tia Gordon) and have all indicated their intention to attend either virtually or in person.

The Bursary Celebration was not possible last year due to COVID concerns, and will be the culmination of collaboration by multiple organisations and individuals – see attached invitation.
