National Reconciliation Week was recognised on Wednesday with a Yarning Circle facilitated by Aunty Liz Heta, Aboriginal Health Liaison Officer (AHLO) from Albury Wodonga Health (AWH). Local First Nations people and their families were invited to yarn with Liz, in the spirit of truth telling and working with the health service to strengthen cultural safety. Kiley Walkerden, Koori Education Support Officer (KESO) for the Upper Murray also participate in the session and together, Corryong Health staff learned more about the local First Nations history and local protocols.
National Reconciliation Week’s 'All In' theme, reminds us that reconciliation requires all of us to engage in meaningful conversations, shared experiences and ongoing commitment every day. 🧡
Through decades of nursing, community leadership and advocacy, Liz has worked to bridge understanding, empower others and ensure Aboriginal people receive care grounded in respect, compassion and culture.
