Example text
Ros Pierce 37 From the South Coast District Hospital, I packed up my gear and went to Adelaide to meet and get to know my family again. I had been removed from my family when I was very small and was fostered out to a nonIndigenous family. Life in this foster home was not easy. If any rules were broken, I would be beaten with anything that was in reach. That included the old copper stick. Later in life, I spent about two to three years in limbo, trying to get to know my Aboriginal family. I had been bought up being told all my life that Aboriginal people were ‘no hopers, drunks and useless’.
I wanted to do something different. Later, I came to work at SHine SA (Sexual Health information, networking and education SA). I am still here today. Although still a nurse, the focus of my career is dramatically different from where I began. My job is co-ordinating the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander female sexual health course for workers for our communities. It is a six-day accredited course. I love this work because I am able to see changes within our communities after workers have completed the course and gained their ‘Statement of Attainment’.
In the first two years, I spent most my time working in the ‘native ward’ and the children’s ward. I enjoyed working in these wards, but I must admit that there were things in the ‘native ward’ that I found very upset- MaryAnn Bin-Sallik 31 ting. This was not their fault. It was the living conditions provided to them by the then Department of Native Affairs. Another horrible thing I had witnessed was that, in most instances, when Aboriginal children died in the middle of the night, the doctors would not get out of bed to examine them and certify their death.
