I would like to thank my colleague, Professor Colette Browning, who also supported Pritimoy as his Associate Supervisor. Gratitude to family members of Pritimoy as well for contributing to this success story.

Best wishes for Pritimoy!

He investigated #mentalhealth issues among #migrants in #Australia. He also taught postgraduate public health students and gained popularity among #students. The most interesting thing is many of those Master of Public Health students also shared the same stage of graduation ceremony today!

I also showcased the research projects on smoking and vaping of my #PhDstudents, Dr Masud Salehin and Dr Naima Nimmi, and our #MPHstudent, Dr Nicole Coombs. The discussion generated interest for future collaborative work to improve the #health outcomes of the Gippsland population in #Victoria.

We had a good discussion on the issues of #smoking, #vaping, #tobacco, #qfever, #publichealthworkforce, #adolescents, #healthcarerprofessionals, #healthpromotion, #policies, #practice, #advocacy etc.

Thanks to Ms Lisa Maatsoo for being the MC for the event and Ms Deanna Jarvis from our engagement team for organising the event nicely. Thanks to all the attendees who made time to attend the session and engage in the discussion.

My speech was followed by an engaging panel discussion with the panellists from GRPHU and GippsDairy. Our appreciation goes to the panel moderator, Associate Professor Alyce Wilson, and panel members, Ms Karen Mc Lennan and Ms Alisha Brooks.

Thanks to Grace Diep for being the MC for the event, as well as Lisa Maatsoo and Deanna Jarvis for organising the event nicely.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to the organisers, Iconic Trade Australia and ABA Wyndham, for their outstanding initiative in acknowledging the contributions of diverse professionals within Australia’s multicultural communities.

The event welcomed numerous councillors from Victoria and NSW, the Deputy Mayor of Wyndham City, and representatives from various multicultural communities in Australia and overseas.

It was also a privilege for me to share the stage with other remarkable #community leaders, including the legendary singer from Bangladesh, Mr. Naquib Khan, as we celebrated his extraordinary 50-year journey in music.

Being recognised in such a #multicultural forum is truly meaningful, and I hope this inspires other professionals in our communities. As with any award, it brings additional responsibilities to strive for even greater achievements in the future.

Excellent gathering of leaders of @publichealthaus.bsky.social across all states and territories of Australia

Pritimoy examined #mentalhealth issues among #migrants in #Australia during his #PhD under my supervision. I was delighted to receive the hard-bound copy of his thesis recently. Wishing him all the best for a bright future ahead.
