Three passionate and committed recipients have recently been inducted into Northern Sydney Local Health District Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service’s Theresa Durante and Alana Rousselot Wall of Fame. 

Patient and community member Andrea Neville, NSLHD Director of People and Culture Paula Williscroft and NSLHD Director of Primary and Community Health Kim Field were formally recognised at a ceremony in early April. 

The Wall of Fame, located in the Royal North Shore Hospital foyer, honours staff and community members within Northern Sydney Local Health District for their continuous support and work in improving the lives and health outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.

Director of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service Peter Shine said all three inductees are passionate and committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. 

“Thank you to Andrea, Paula and Kim for your contributions – we are very fortunate at this district to have your support and you are all very deserving of this accolade,” Peter said.
