Peter Lin

Sydney NSW

Bachelor of Medical Science

For Peter, being a global citizen means standing up and taking action on issues that threaten our humanity. Since high school, Peter has been committed to serving his local community – organising charity days and volunteering as a driver’s assistant for patient transport. In 2016, he was recognised with an award from the Order of Australia Association NSW for his outstanding work in community service. Most recently, Peter has been taking a stand on issues affecting mental and public health, promoting messages of self-care and seeking help for those who may need it. And he is the current Advocacy Officer for WakeUp! – the University’s forum to promote global health issues. Looking to the future, he hopes to use his Bachelor of Medical Science and experience to enact meaningful and enduring change for the betterment of the global community and wants to inspire future generations to do the same.
