Thurs@3 S2E3 – In conversation with Tanya Quinn, Aboriginal health worker in paediatric palliative care

Thursdays@3

Welcome to Thursdays at 3 our regular series of conversations with people living and working at the end of life.

Exploring the culture of Australia’s First People is something we are always interested in, but especially so during NAIDOC Week – an annual celebration of the culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

Today, we do that through the work and wisdom of Tanya Quinn, an Aboriginal Health Worker in paediatric palliative care and chronic and complex needs at the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network.

Click play to join the conversation as Tanya shares her story of cultural awareness and connection to the spirit world.

Thank you for tuning into Thursdays@3, you will find advice, tools, and support with ‘matters of life and death’ at the Palliative Care Australia website where you can also make a donation to support our work.
