Gladys Elphick Memorial Scholarship

Gladys Elphick MBE was a highly respected member of the local *Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community of South Australia. She was particularly active in the development of services in the areas of lobbying which culminated in the establishment of the first Aboriginal community controlled health service in the Adelaide region, which continues on today in the form of Nunkuwarrin Yunti of SA Inc. An anonymous donor has provided a bequest to the University of South Australia, Allied Health and Human Performance, to allow a scholarship to be awarded in memory of Gladys Elphick. This bequest has been used to fund a scholarship in support of an Aboriginal student undertaking studies within the academic unit, to a total value of $5000.

*From here on in the term Aboriginal is inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
