Dr Debbie Stach
Northern Territory GP Registrar of the Year Award

This award celebrates the life of Dr Debbie Stach, who died tragically in a car accident in 2004 soon after completing her GP training with the former NTGPE.

It recognises ongoing commitment, passion, and leadership to general practice in the NT.

The $10,000 award is presented annually to one GP registrar enrolled in the AGPT training program in the NT who has demonstrated:

• an outstanding approach to medicine
• a commitment to improving Indigenous health outcomes in the NT, and
• an outstanding approach to professionalism in their work, education, and training environments.

Ada Wilmadda Parry
Aboriginal Health Scholarship

Ada Wilmadda Parry was one of the first Cultural Educators in the NT, and has been a Cultural Educator for more than 30 years.

Ada advocates the importance of cultural training for GPs who work in the NT, and is motivated to ensure Indigenous families do not have to struggle to be understood culturally and linguistically by medical practitioners.

The scholarship provides $5,000 for up to two GP registrars in the AGPT Program who demonstrate a strong interest in improving Indigenous health, and improving cultural and linguistic understanding between Aboriginal patients and general practitioners.

This is a self-nominated award.
