Peter is a Ngarigo artist and community health worker with Thorne Harbour Health’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Project. Peter talks about how NAIDOC came about and some of the events planned for this year’s line-up.

Then Carleen Miller and Natalie Tieri from the Royal Eye and Ear Hospital to talk about supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through the hospital’s Mirring Ba Wirring service as well as some of the health issues faced by our First Nations communities.
