Very excited to announce that I’ve been shortlisted as a finalist for the 2026 Australian of the Year for WA!

Winners will be announced on November 13.

The platform this gives to critical issues is why it’s such an honour. So many worthy finalists. Thrilled to be included amongst them.

Brilliant to receive a standing ovation for my Keynote address this morning at the Rural Medicine Australia conference in
Perth this morning on “Why close the gap is fundamentally flawed: why we are failing our most vulnerable”
It was a big room & the ovation went on a while #humbled

Nice to be sent an official pic too

How lucky and blessed am I? The lovely Corrie Hosking (a participant in my Perth workshop) was kind enough to draw these two images as a gift along with a beautiful heartfelt message about the impact of my workshop on her. She got the images of me and my beautiful cocker Jilya nailed I think❤️❤️

Pretty cool to be a guest of “The Conversations” podcast live event in Perth in front of 1,000 peeps. Richard Fidler & Sarah Kanowski have been travelling the country celebrating the 20 yr anniversary. So honoured they asked me along with Freo dockers legend Peter Bell as a special guest

It’s pretty easy to close the gap.
Here’s how to in six easy steps.

But let’s reduce it to one step.

Make treatment OUTCOME the new close the gap metric

Until then: the gap will never be closed

Nice to be tagged by Cockburn Library in honour of the shortlisting of Jilya for the WA Premiers Writers Awards for non fiction book of the year. A great pic from my recent author talk with beautiful Kimberley girl, Leanne Dolby who did a brilliant job interviewing me on stage about Jilya.
