Irene Fisher

Sunrise Health Service
Australia
Irene is currently the CEO of Sunrise Health Aboriginal Corporation, a primary health care service to 10 remote communities in the Katherine east region. These communities have long suffered inequalities in health service delivery, education, employment, affordable and appropriate food and access to services. Her responsibilities include representation, negotiation and liaison with governments at national and state level, with health organizations and lobbying at all levels for the future of Sunrise. Drawing on her extensive experience in health services delivery and knowledge of the social determinants of health Irene would now like to be able to advocate for Indigenous health rights from an international human rights perspective.
