Warm-hearted, wonderful Aunty Dulcie Flowers reminiscing about the first few days of the Aboriginal Medical Service Redfern. On the third day after doors opened, the first patient walked in. On the fourth day, a family walked in with a young girl with ear infection: their first family ❤️ #communitycontrol #Aboriginalhealth

Gary Foley, zooming in from sunny Melbourne, to talk about the establishment of the Aboriginal Medical Service Redfern. Incredible people in his recollections: Mum Shirl, Gordon Briscoe, Gary Williams, Fred Hollows, Naomi, Mayers (who ‘kept the ship together for the greatest part of its history’) the Pope’s representative… such a privilege to listen. #communitycontrol #Aboriginalhealth #alwayswasalwayswillbe #champions #selfdetermination

Very, very happy to be at 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Aboriginal Medical Service Redfern: the first Aboriginal community controlled health service in Australia. Gadigal Elder Uncle Allen Madden welcoming us to Country. #alwayswasalwayswillbe #communitycontrol

Horrible damage is done in these daily, routine encounters that few will ever know about let alone rectify. A truly just future system will be one of collective empowerment in which #WeKeepUsSafe. #Abolition #CommunityControl #PowerFromBelow
