The Hill, NSW

Bachelor of Medical Science / Doctor of Medicine Enabling Pathway: Yapug

Levi is ready to take the next step in his medical career. After a decade working as a medical administration officer and registered Aboriginal Health Practitioner, he is embarking on a new path to become a General Practitioner. As a GP, Levi will build on his already impressive experience improving health outcomes among his community. Whilst Levi grew up on Bundjalung Country around Lismore, he is a proud member of the Wonnarua Nation of the Hunter Valley. Inspired by many Aboriginal doctors he has worked alongside over the years, Levi plans to join them as leaders and change makers among Aboriginal communities. He hopes to provide a culturally safe healthcare service particularly for people who face significant social disadvantage.
