In this episode Shane is joined by Associate Professor Melissa Stoneham for one of the most powerful reminders of what environmental health is really about. As the lead of the Ending Trachoma Project in Western Australia, Melissa shares how a disease that is 100% preventable is still causing blindness in some of Australia’s most remote Aboriginal communities. This episode explores the power of prevention, the politics of providing basic hygiene, the challenges of remote housing maintenance, and what sustainable, community-led environmental health really looks like in practice.
Thank you to our guest: Melissa Stoneham
