About this episode

Sam discusses healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients with Dr Kris Rallah-Baker and music initiatives with members of the band Clear Vision.

Sam welcomes back ophthalmologist, remote community outreach worker and First Nations health advocate Dr Kris Rallah-Baker to the show this week. Kris caught up with us last year to have a chat about his role in the first season of Our Medicine on SBS and NITV, now in its second season, following his work in remote communities of Australia delivering healthcare services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients who are blind or have low vision. You'll also hear from Cody Butler and Sean Kendrick, two members of the Brisbane-based band Clear Vision. Clear Vision comprises entirely of members who are blind or have low vision, put together in collaboration between Vision Australia, Brisbane City Council and Dotted Beats as part of the Youth Harmony initiative. They chat with Sam about Clear Vision and Youth Harmony, as well as a gig in June that the Youth Harmony committee (of which they're both members) are putting together.
