Today we visited the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service as part of our Rural Health Research Institute (RHRI). Emily-Jane Woodhead and I were able to visit in person and Sarah Bartlett was prevented from driving to Orange by the significant weather event across the state.
- We spent the morning with Ebony Hay, the Child Health Navigator at OAMS and learned more about the important work she does with children across the city and district, particularly in schools. She has a number of excellent programs to screen and support children's hearing, some of which are associated with Hearing Australia.
- We spent the afternoon with Dr Liz Pressick from RHRI sharing insights between our research projects.
- Finally, I worked with Cathie Matthews to finalise her MPhil Endorsement presentation that she will present next week.
- Just before we arrived, we learned that we had received ethics approval from the AH&MRC https://www.ahmrc.org.au/ethics-at-ahmrc/ so now need approval from CSU to be able to proceed.
It was an insightful and productive day.
