This episode is the first of our Health Justice Partnership Season where we explore the relationship between access to justice and health services, and what it takes to build an effective health justice partnership and better systems for our communities.

Today our guest on the show is Tessa Boyd-Caine, the founding CEO of Health Justice Australia. Tessa was born and grew up on unceded Gadigal lands of what is now known as Sydney, where she lives again after four years living in England, China and India. Originally a criminologist, she has worked in health, criminal justice and human rights organisations in Australia and internationally. She was previously Deputy CEO of the Australian Council of Social Service and was the inaugural Fulbright Professional Scholar in Non-profit Leadership. Tessa’s PhD looked at the detention and release of offenders living with mental disorders. You can also catch Tessa in Ted talk format on where she explains why seeing a lawyer might be good for your health.

Hosted by lawyers from the Central Australian Women’s Legal Service (CAWLS) in Mparntwe/ Alice Springs, Sisters in Law provides information about the law, women’s rights and access to justice. Broadcast Live on 8CCC 102.1FM + listen On Demand and subscribe to our podcast!
