The best part of conference season is meeting so many members and users of our services.

Across Australian Orthopaedic Association ASM, AOFOG Congress hosted by Royal Aust & NZ College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists RANZCOG and the AAPM National Conference, we had the opportunity to connect with doctors and practice leaders from across Australia.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat. There were many great conversations across the range of challenges being faced and how Avant can help address them.

Dr Kris Rallah-Baker, Australia's first Indigenous ophthalmologist, features on ABC's Australian Story, sharing his journey and his work improving eye health in Indigenous communities.

Kris is also a mentor to the next generation of Indigenous doctors. Aiden Wu, a recipient of the Avant Foundation AIDA Indigenous Medical Student Bursary, recently joined him on an outreach trip to Weipa, gaining firsthand insight into a career in ophthalmology.

A great example of how mentorship and the right support early on can shape a career.

Australia's first Indigenous eye surgeon Kris Rallah-Baker has walked a zigzag path, driven by family struggles and overcoming "unashamed racism".
