About
This year's NAIDOC theme - "For Our Elders", acknowledges our Elders who guide us and who paved the way for us to take the paths we can take today, our Elders who fought for the rights we have and for my Elders who put the fire in my belly to continue to fight for equality by demonstrating their tenacity and strength. This year, we will all be asked to vote on recognising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through a Voice in the Australian Constitution. In her presentation, Georgie will discuss honouring our Elders by saying "Yes" at the upcoming referendum.
Bio
Georgie Corrie is a proud Nyamal Woman and Nurse with immeasurable experience in the Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector in clinical and leadership roles. Born and raised on Wurundjeri Land of the Kulin Nation, Georgie's love of the Territory started in 2009 after spending time on Arrernte Country. After completing her studies at Australian Catholic University and consolidating her knowledge at the Royal Children's Hospital, Georgie relocated to the Territory in 2015.
Georgie has pursued a career in Aboriginal Health and has cared across the lifespan in roles in Child Health, Chronic Disease, and Generalist Remote Area Nursing. Passionate about empowering communities to be their own decision-makers, Georgie worked with Yolngu in Ramingining to transition the Ramingining Clinic from NT Government to Miwatj Health. Georgie has returned to Purple House as Living a Good Life Manager in their Top End Operations, fostering two-way working aligned with the organisation's strategic goals. Georgie advocates for youth justice reforms and works with Danila Dilba Health Service at Don Dale Clinic, the first Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO) to provide primary health care in youth detention setting in Australia.
Georgie has put away the stethoscope for 2023, working for Yes23 as the NT Coordinator.
