Grace Larson, a paediatric critical care nurse with more than 17 years’ experience, has teamed up with her sister to address the unfair health disadvantages faced by rural children through The Sisterhood Project.
The mission is simple: to change the health outcomes for bush kids.
The Sisterhood Project delivers life-saving skills to parents and caregivers across rural Australia, including free infant and child first aid, CPR, and how to identify preventable illness to help decrease the need for rural children to seek specialised services in urban areas.
Thanks to the Victorian AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award Westpac grant, Grace can continue to save more children’s lives through education, and importantly, breaking down barriers to that education.
