Dr Kristopher Rallah-Baker, a Yuggera/Biri-Gubba-Juru man, is Australia's first indigenous Opthamologist and a trailblazer in Australian medicine.

According to the National Eye Health Survey, 90% of vision loss in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander is preventable - but with limited resources, these cases aren't always tended to.

During COVID, Kris was President of the Australian Indigenous Doctors Association, a MASSIVE responsibility in regular circumstances...but as 2020 seems to do, his life and responsibilities were amplified. There were fears the pandemic would have serious ramifications and generational effects on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. 

Thank you to Uncle Jack Charles for the acknowledgement of country.
