Anne Tranby (Deceased 2019) INDUCTED 2012

Aunty Anne, a proud Wuthathi woman dedicated over 30 years working for ATSICHS Brisbane Limited and the wider community. Aunty Anne undertook a significant number of roles and had the privilege of working alongside many wonderful people who also had the drive and determination to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes were achieved.

Aunty Anne’s transition into Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health came in 1981 when she was employed as a part-time driver with ATSICHS Brisbane at their Grey Street premises. She was honoured to have been employed in her first full time role and the first person to hold the title of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Hospital Liaison Officer in Queensland. For a whole year she visited every hospital with an Outpatients section to pick up patients from airports when they were travelling from rural areas. She was the person that people looked to for guidance and support when they needed to go to the hospital or medical centre. Her last role was based in Logan before she retired in 2015. Aunty Anne was highly regarded and respected for her professional and caring manner when providing services to our community.
