Dr Lynore Geia
Academic Lead, Indigenous Health, Centre for Nursing and Midwifery Research, James Cook University
I am an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander woman from Palm Island, Nth Queensland, home to the Bwgcolman people. My role as a health professional has been interrelated with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and professional leadership experiences over the past three decades.This has involved participating in various leadership roles in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health on State, Territory, Federal and International forums.
I have extensive practice in rural and remote health, and am a strong advocate for Aboriginal community controlled health. I am committed to developing effective research and education that impacts on health praxis; in particular working towards better outcomes in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island health. This has led to a passion for working with community to develop support strategies to strengthen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth health and families through best practice, and more recently including families and prison research/correctional services with Prof. Andrew Day, Indigenous Education and Reserach Centre.
The passion to work with and for community has extended into the use of social media for public health activism and advocacy such as #IHMayDay (Indigenous Health May Day https://croakey.org/about-ihmayday/ ) an annual 15 hour Twitter event that privileges Indigenous voices in discussing holistic health issues that impact on Indigenous peoples and their communities.

This role is the culmination of more than 20 years of experience as a clinician, academic and working in senior management roles in metropolitan and remote areas. Renee became interested in health as a young girl, growing up with grandparents who regularly attended health services because of chronic illnesses.

She then studied to become a nurse, wanting to extend her clinical practice and knowledge, and worked at Mount Isa Hospital as a nurse for five years and then James Cook University, Mount Isa Centre for Rural and Remote Health.
She was drawn back to primary healthcare because of its potential for prevention and early intervention, working in service planning and management roles at the Institute for Urban Indigenous Health and the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service (ATSICHS) Brisbane. In 2018, Renee was delighted to return to Mount Isa and take up her current position.
