Working towards true representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in nursing and midwifery
Acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the Country we are in and their Ancestors and Elders
Artwork: The collective response is strong and diverse by Michelle Smith RN Palawa from the Pyemairrener mob
Artist Statement: We all come from Country. Roots tap out into different soils and waters which feed and nourish us. The trunk brings us together in a strong collective response and then branches off. Diverse leaves, fruits, and medicines. There are lots of branches and diversity and they work together & inspire each other. The collective response is diverse and cyclical building on previous generational responses promoting future diversity by remaining connected to the roots.
