During NAIDOC Week, Oral Health Services Tasmania (OHST) is proud to launch new scrub tops featuring 'Seasons of Change', an Aboriginal artwork by proud Palawa artist Emma Robertson.

The artwork was commissioned in 2023 as part of a collaborative project focused on health and wellbeing, Seasons of Change celebrates the Palawa creation story, native wildflowers and sea country, highlighting the deep connection between Country, culture and wellbeing.

The new scrub tops will be worn by OHST staff across the state, helping to create culturally safe, welcoming and supportive environments for Tasmanian Aboriginal people accessing oral health care.

"It's really important to me that Aboriginal people can see themselves represented across the health system. I hope the artwork is well received by everyone and encourages more Aboriginal people to seek out oral health services," said Emma.

We are honoured to showcase this beautiful artwork and celebrate Aboriginal culture, creativity and connection to Country.

This NAIDOC Week, one Tasmanian family has every reason to celebrate with the arrival of their first child, a boy they have named West. ✨

West’s mother, Jaz Wheatley, is a proud Palawa woman from Tayaritja/Flinders Island.

She cherishes her connection to Lutrawita/Tasmania through her great-grandmother Wotecowidger, daughter of Mannalargenna, chief of north east Lutruwita, Wukalina, their ancestral lands.

Her son's birth at the start of NAIDOC Week holds particular significance for the family as Jaz had been helping to organise a local flag-raising ceremony on Country before needing to leave the island to prepare for West’s birth.

With a midwife attending the island once a month and no birthing service available, Jaz was unable to give birth on Country. She chose to travel to North West Regional Hospital in Pataway/Burnie to welcome her son.

👶🏼 His name acknowledges his birth in Lutruwita/Tasmania’s west and honours her grandmother, whose surname is West. His middle name, Manghana, means black cockatoo in palawa kani, honouring his heritage and connection to Country.

West’s father, Iszac Willis, also grew up on Tayaritja/Flinders Island, and both Iszac and Jaz’s ancestors had separately journeyed from Europe to the island in the early 1900s.

For now, the young family will remain in Pataway/Burnie for two weeks for postnatal care, until they can return home to be supported by the visiting midwife service. They are grateful for the care available in the niyakara ward at NWRH, and are especially looking forward to taking West home and introducing him to their families on Country.

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme “50 Years of Deadly” marks a milestone and is a tribute to those who built the movement. As communities across Lutruwita/Tasmania celebrate culture, connection and achievement, the arrival of little West Maverick Manghana Willis serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring strength of family, heritage and the continuing connection of Aboriginal people to Country. 🖤💛❤️

Welcome to the world, West. 🙌🏼
