Jetja Nai Medical Mob: Naomi Mayers
Naomi Mayers joined the Aboriginal Medical Service in Sydney's Redfern in 1972. Starting out as a secretary, she has been its Chief Executive Officer for many years. Highly respected in Australia and overseas for her expertise and commitment to Aboriginal health, she has been the driving force behind many other inner-city community development projects. It's taken great strength of character and political focus to achieve all that she has, something Naomi attributes to her roots on the old Cummeragunja mission.
