This year we are celebrating \u201cInternational Year of the Nurse and the Midwife\u201d and would like to acknowledge the vital role our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses play in the public and community health sectors. Nurses and Midwives are the people who devote their lives to caring for mothers, fathers, children and families, giving lifesaving immunisations and health advice; looking after older people and generally meeting every day essential health needs. Often Nurses and Midwives are the first and only point of care in their communities. During our virtual NAIDOC celebrations, we are joined with Sherry Holzapfel, Director of the Metro North Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Leadership Team (A&TSILT) and Kirsty Leo, Manager of Data, Research and Clinical Governance within the A&TSILT.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The theme for this year\u2019s NAIDOC is \u201cAlways Was, Always Will Be\u201d echoes from social achievements by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders. One achievement is the Mabo Case, to highlight the significance of the Mabo case for Torres Strait Islander peoples was Edward Monaei and Daniel Tapau. Edward spoke about the historical component of the case and its significance in the lives of not only Torres Strait Islanders but for Aboriginal peoples. With the flavour of reconciliation, the Mabo case showcases the cultural respect as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to support each other and work in partnership.<\/p>\n<\/div>
