Episode description

Most Australians would regard our health system as world class, but there’s an ecosystem of discrimination that many of us often don’t see. Stuart Yiwarr McGrath is a Galiwin’ku man from north-east Arnhem Land. He’s passionate about shifting the dial on health discrimination and providing culturally appropriate healthcare to his community. Yumi Stynes speaks to Stuart about becoming the first Yolngu registered nurse, and what it means to reconcile both black and white parts of his identity.
