PPLS | TALK | Aunty Judith ‘Jacko’ Jackson: Because Of Her, We Can | Thursday 12 July 2018 | 6.30-7.30pm

[Edited extract from public address]

Listen in to this special NAIDOC conversation with guest Aunty Judith ‘Jacko’ Jackson and Alison Craigie-Parsons. 

Aunty Jacko, a Gunggari woman and elder, is regarded by many as the glue that binds the Aboriginal community in the City of Port Phillip. With wisdom gained from her own early struggles, she has helped make a difference to the health of many community members in Melbourne’s inner southern suburbs, earning universal respect and affection. Aunty Jacko has received a number of awards for her outstanding community work, including being inducted in the 2016 Victorian Aboriginal Honour Roll.

Alison Craigie-Parsons is a proud Aboriginal woman of the Gomeroi people of Central New South Wales / Southern Queensland with over 20 years of experience in Indigenous health and higher education.
