There’s not a lot that Avelina Tarrago isn’t a strong advocate for. As one of only two female indigenous barristers in Queensland, Avelina has forged an impressive professional path in conjunction with strong social and cultural commitments. In this episode, Avelina, a passionate Wangkamadla Traditional Owner speaks about the barriers for other members of her community to follow in her footsteps, her passion for Bush Heritage and the need for more frank, open conversations about fertility and birth in indigenous communities. Prior to being called to the bar in 2017, Avelina was a federal prosecutor with a Commonwealth director of public prosecutions.
