S4 Ep 24 - Giving Back
We're all busy but sometimes you meet someone, take a look at their schedule, and wonder how on earth it's all possible. From studying nursing, to helping on the family cattle property, being an active member of the Country Women's Association, visiting parliament and even sitting on the local Campdraft committee. It all comes back to a deep love of rural Australia. To learn more about her impressive contribution to the industry, Charlotte Leys joins me now.
- Charlotte's favourite place on the family farm is riding her horse down at the back creek.
- Studying nursing, working multiple jobs and volunteering motivates her because she loves being busy and gaining experience as an assistant nurse.
- She is passionate about improving healthcare access in regional Australia and explains how agriculture and healthcare must support each other.
- Charlotte loves being hands-on at the farm when she's not studying or on placement.
- She values rural communities because strong connections make them special.
- Although only 21 and the youngest member of the CWA, Charlotte sees great value in being involved.
- We discuss rural health adversity and Charlotte reflects on speaking with policymakers in parliament.
- The biggest issue facing her community right now is access to healthcare in rural areas.
