Throughout her career, Gloria Sutherland has been a strong advocate for
equity and access to health services, 
with a lifetime of
service to the community in regional, state and 
national roles.
As Director of Kimberly Population Health in remote Western Australia,
she negotiated partnerships with a range of individuals, organisations and groups
spread across the region and was able to increase the team

Gloria went on to coordinate the WA bowel cancer screening and worked as a consultant
on several health community and local government projects.
This experience highlighted the difficulties facing homeless people in WA
