A bit about Ellie

I’m a proud Kija Bardi woman and physiotherapist currently working at an inner-Melbourne public hospital. Driven to make a positive change on the health and wellbeing of our mob, I use my own personal experiences and knowledge to educate others, as well as encouraging them to check their privilege, prejudices and to carry out their own research.

Country (from): Kija Bardi (Northern Western Australia)
Country (currently living): Wurundjeri Country (Naarm – Melbourne)
Favourite Indigenous word: Irrnim (together)
One word that sums up what Reconciliation or Closing the Gap looks like: Irrnim - together
Song of choice:  Thelma Plumb – Better in Blak
