Refugee Health Nurse
I am a HEP Hero because: I believe in taking the discrimination out of any interaction between those who have and those who do not have (from blood borne viruses to skin colour)
I work in primary care as a Refugee Health Nurse. I am honoured to meet all new migrants and those seeking asylum due to their strength, survival and for journeying to Australia. I have learnt much about humanity from my clients. I am and will always be grateful for that.
My journey as a Refugee Health Nurse involved recognising that there were a large number of migrants in Melbourne who did not have access to health services but were from countries with high incidence of hepatitis B.
For example international students, skilled & unskilled migrants and others who arrived with visas other than the humanitarian visa.
