MABO DAY AT NSLHD NSLHD marked Mabo Day with a special stall at Royal North Shore Hospital, hosted by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service team, highlighting the significance of this important day with staff and visitors. Braiden Abala, Deputy Director of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Service at NSLHD, reflected on the enduring impact of Mabo Day. “Mabo Day was pivotal in the land rights movement. It marked the recognition that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples had long occupied Australia and held legal rights to their ancestral lands — completely overturning the concept of terra nullius,” he said. “It remains deeply relevant today, as it affirmed the sovereignty of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, their rights to land through Native Title, and their ability to determine what happens on their ancestral lands.” Observed annually on 3 June, Mabo Day commemorates the legacy of Mer Island man Eddie Koiki Mabo, whose landmark case in the High Court of Australia led to the 1992 decision that overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius — the false idea that the land belonged to no one prior to British Produced with the Kolling Institute, the series features clinicians, researchers and teams from across NSLHD who are shaping the future of healthcare. Podcast host and Kolling Institute researcher Professor James Elliott said the series shines a light on the depth of talent and discovery happening locally. “Each year, Stanford University publishes a list of the top two per cent of researchers globally — and many of those names are my colleagues right here at the Kolling Institute,” he said. “That’s what inspired this podcast. It’s a groundbreaking research, innovative models of care, and inspiring stories from across the district has been launched. Tomorrow’s Medicine Today is presented by Northern Sydney Local Health District and the Kolling Institute. Chief Executive Anthony Schembri said the podcast is an important way to highlight NSLHD’s leadership in research and innovation. “Our teams are delivering truly outstanding work in healthcare and medical research,” he said. “This podcast is a fantastic platform to share that work with our community and highlight the people behind the breakthroughs.”
