Sam is a proud Murri woman from north Queensland who is passionate about empowering and equipping First Nations People to have a voice and to choose their own pathways in life.  

Having spent over a decade working for Indigenous Affairs in the Australian Public Service and most recently the ACT government, Sam has contributed to the way governments work to acknowledge the contribution of our First Nations People and furthering the discussion around how we can address the inequities our First People still face.  

Sam’s remit in her role at UnitingCare Australia is to ensure Justice for First Peoples – that the unique place of our First Peoples in the life of our nation is acknowledged and upheld.
