As you may have heard, the medevac bill will be debated in the Senate next week, and is in danger of being repealed. Jacqui Lambie holds the swing vote, and we have powerful voices as UTas med students to help ensure that medical decisions about asylum seekers' health are made by doctors, not bureaucrats.
If you haven't already, please sign this petition, and we'll send it to Jacqui by the start of the week!

Your valuable ideas and preferences will help drive our advocacy for nutrition education, and the way in which it's implemented into the medical curriculum.
Oh, and also - you will go in the draw to win one of five $30 Coles/Myer gift vouchers! 😁💵🎉
