UNE is saddened by the passing of Brittany Abraham last Sunday 24th March, 2024. Britt was a much-loved early career academic who had a huge involvement in the UNE community.

Britt graduated from UNE with both a Bachelor of Nursing and Psychology with Honours degrees and recently commenced her PhD. Britt was a member of the First Nations Success Program coordinated through the Faculty of HASSE, working directly with students and staff in the Faculty of Medicine & Health. She was an integral member of the academic team at Oorala, lecturing in OORA200 and the TRACKS Program. Britt was also closely connected with the UNE Tamworth staff and students through her work. Britt was an inaugural First Nations recipient of the Manna Institute PhD Scholarships to further regional mental health, and was an Alumna of St. Albert’s College. Most recently, Britt provided the student Vote of Thanks in last December’s Graduation, and gave the student welcome to all college first years during Orientation Week in February.

Britt has had a lasting impact on all of those she collaborated with, supporting others on their journey, and inspiring everyone around her.

Please add your message to this page, for Britt’s family and for all who had the opportunity to walk with her.
