Mid North Coast Local Health District
At the young age of 25, Ricky works
tirelessly for the Aboriginal community and partners with many local, state and
federal agencies including NSW Health to ensure a voice for Aboriginal people.
Ricky has been volunteering with the
Macksville Hospital Development team for the past three years. He has now taken
over as the Chairperson for the Aboriginal Reference Group, which he takes
great pride in.
He continually makes himself available
when required and his knowledge, advice and network of resources make this
project a real community effort.
Ricky is always smiling, willing to give
his time to make the future brighter for his community. He is a gentle, kind
person, with a welcoming personality who enjoys spending time with people.
As a well-respected and trusted member of the community, he
is helping to ‘Close the Gap’ to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Australians.
