Raised in Ipswich in southeast Queensland, Dr Derek Chong is the state's first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander psychiatrist. He has worked at the coalface of health, starting out as a residential care worker and going on to graduate with a Bachelor of Nursing from ACU in 1999, while working as a registered psychiatric nurse.
Nurse Christine Shanahan has worked the wards of Sydney’s hospitals, but she has also treated sexual violence victims in Sudan, diagnosed diseases from a tin shed in Timor Leste, opened a pharmacy in post-Soviet Turkmenistan, and nursed her way around a series of Australian outback hospitals.
"I've been gifted with wonderful opportunities and awards since my ACU graduation. I received the Pride of Australia Medal for Care and Compassion, I was the recipient of the HESTA Australia Graduate Nurse of the Year Award (2013), and I've been nominated for Young Australian of the Year. I believe ACU helped shaped me into the nurse I am today, one that adores my vocation. I hope to facilitate the same experience for other new nurses, both here in Australia and overseas.
"I want to make an impact by utilising the skills modeled by ACU. I hope to provide exceptional evidence-based holistic nursing care to my patients and their families."
