“Our last eBulletin of 2025 was in mid December, only days before the shocking events at Bondi which has cast a nasty pall over the Holiday Season around Australia. My heart goes out to the victims and their families and to the whole Jewish Community who are reeling at such a targeted attack.” Dr Brenda Masters, President, AFMW
“I wish all of you a very happy Festive Season and hope that we can all approach 2026 with fresh energy and enthusiasm!” Dr Brenda Masters, President, AFMW

It seems so appropriate that the Australian Federation of Medical Women can celebrate the 5th year of the Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursary Program along with NAIDOC’s 50th anniversary by announcing five recipients of the 2025 Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursaries.
“As members of AFMW, we are committed to advancing the professional development, education, and training of medical women. Our goal is to enhance health and welfare, particularly for women and children in Australia.”
In 2024, AFMW awarded bursaries of $1250 to the four recipients of the 2024 Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursary Program. This week, we introduce to you, Ms Clancy Morgan, one the 2024 Bursary recipients.
