The AFMW has embarked on several initiatives and projects over the years. These aim to either shed further light on the issues that we advocate for, or assist medical women both professionally and personally. If you are interested in conducting research or undertaking a project that is in alignment with our mission, we are very willing to assist.
APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED. Thank you for the wonderful applications and to our supporters and sponsors who have made this possible again in 2023! We look forward to announcing the selection panel’s decision next week during NAIDOC celebrations (2-9 July 2023).
In October 2022, the government committed to a first tranche of funding to commence the National Health and Climate Strategy development. Thanks to Fiona Armstrong of CAHA, who inspired many, including myself as the representative of AFMW to be part of a little bit of history here. We each generously lent our time, expertise and intellect to offer advice, and to contribute to this important outcome.
This beautiful and inspiring video was the initiative of Dr Sarah Jane Springer (one of the recipient of the 2022 Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursaries) in providing a contribution to the NAIDOC Week Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursary Celebration (held in Brisbane, 5 July 2022) when she could not attend in person as planned due to skeleton staff during the COVID Surge. Please enjoy this video.
Following our earlier post where we announced the recipients of the 2022 Purple Bush Medicine Leaves Bursaries, we are pleased this week to profile another of the recipients, Dr Sarah Jane Springer, a Wiradjuri woman from Mudgee, NSW and is currently working at Charleville, Queensland. Hear from Sarah and watch the video.
