In this episode, we’re joined by Hannah Thompson, an Oral Health Therapist working with the Bourke Aboriginal Corporation Health Service, or BACHS, in remote New South Wales.
She shares what drew her to BACHS, and gives us a look at what a typical week looks like in her role.
Hannah speaks openly about the importance of building trust, promoting culturally safe care, and connecting with patients in ways that honour their values and lived experiences.
And if you're a dental professional thinking about working in remote or Aboriginal health—Hannah offers practical advice and encouragement to help you take that first step.
This is a powerful conversation about purpose-driven care, cultural sensitivity, and the impact one clinician can have in community health.
