DIFFICULTY securing sufficient health services for her family is one of many reasons Trudi Sebasio is determined to help close the gap on indigenous wellbeing.

Ms Sebasio said it could take a whole generation to close the life expectancy gap between indigenous and non-indigenous people but she was committed to the mission. She said one step toward improving indigenous outcomes had been targeting five or more antenatal visits in soon-to-be mothers. https://www.dailymercury.com.au/news/would-be-spys-new-career-as-a-doctor/3626938/
