Year of the Nurse and Midwife - Online Exhibition

This project is a community arts initiative developed by local artist Katrina Elliott and supported by the Community, Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service, Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum and The Art Gallery Gladstone Hospital.

The exhibition comprises of wonderful local stories from nurses and midwives, complemented by photographs and memorabilia. It provides an opportunity for our community to say 'thank you' to our nurses and midwives for the great work they do every day.
