Support our next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health care students to undertake a transformative leadership program and enhance their skills to deliver the best possible health outcomes for Indigenous patients and their communities.
“Maliyan”, meaning “eagle” in Wiradjuri language, sets to take our leaders of tomorrow to new heights. Throughout a seven-month program, 15 students will build their leadership capabilities with a focus on empathetic and holistic approaches to communication with Indigenous communities.
From rural Australia to Washington DC, the group will immerse themselves in local and international First Nation health, gaining a broadened and comprehensive understanding of healthcare delivery in our communities and Indigenous communities across the world.
This program is known for graduating students who go on to make life-changing impact, like Sarah Goddard, Bachelor of Medicine Alumna, who was named 2022 Indigenous Doctor of the Year.
Andrew Sampson, Bachelor of Medicine 2015, and fellow participant of the Maliyan Indigenous Student Leadership Program says, “The trip has helped to shape me as a practitioner, particularly when caring for my Indigenous patients and those who may have migrated from overseas. The comparisons that we explored on the trip provided insight into what works and what does not from a health perspective, and still guides my practice even today.”
You can help 15 students undertake this transformative leadership program, enabling them to build and enhance their skills to deliver the best possible health outcomes for Indigenous patients and their communities.
