Andrea Khan is a proud Kuyani/Adnyamathanha Afghani yuratu from the western/northern region of the Flinders Ranges. she moved to Kaurna country in 1980 and began working for the Aboriginal Health Organisation (AHO) in 1984/85. In 1989, she started working for the Aboriginal Community Recreation and Health Services Centre at 128 Wakefield St. Here, she played a key role in developing the HIV/AIDS programs that promoted sexual health well-being among Aboriginal youth and the broader Aboriginal community. I was also one of the leads (the other being Mr Rodney Junga Williams) in developing the Nu-Hit Needle Exchange Program and the HIV booklet “You and Me Must be Free of HIV” developed by the young people in the Cavan Youth Training Centre. Andrea was a member of the inaugural Hepatitis C committee here in Adelaide. Andrea will always strive to ensure that her efforts contribute to increases in community participation and overall better health and well-being outcomes for our communities. She is passionate about the rights, equality, health, well-being, and education for all Aboriginal people. Over the years, she has led numerous workshops and training sessions aimed at empowering Aboriginal health workers and advocating for policy changes to address health disparities. She has worked in urban, rural and remote regions in South Australia, Victoria and more recently in the Northern Territory. I have largely worked in Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations (ACCO’s) throughout my working life.
