Congratulations to Our 2026 Indigenous Health Leadership Program Fellows

Our 2026 Indigenous Health Leadership Program Fellows have completed the 2026 program.

Module 3 took the cohort to Yorta Yorta Country, where they connected with local Aboriginal health and community organisations including the Dharnya Centre, Munarra Centre for Regional Excellence, Kaiela Institute, Rumbalara Aboriginal Co-operative, and Rumbalara Football Netball Club.

The cohort - Shani Crumpen, Dr Kim Isaacs, Jess Payne, Lionel Austin, Mark Gutchen, Skye Parsons, Dr Tui Crumpen, Kristy Meiselbach, and Narelle Bragg - have grown as leaders, deepened their connections to Country and community, and are now stepping into the next chapter of their work.

Thank you to everyone who hosted and shared their work with the Fellows along the way.

The program brings together Indigenous health professionals, researchers and leaders to advance Indigenous health leadership. Across three modules, Futures, Place, and Relationships. Fellows develop the confidence, self-efficacy and sense of purpose needed to lead change in Indigenous health.
