Keeping Indigenous Health in Indigenous Hands

$5,000 scholarships for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Medical students.

The Kathryn Browne-Yung Scholarship Fund was established by Dr Michael Yung in 2021 after the tragic, sudden, unexpected death of his wife Kathryn in March 2020. It aims to keep Indigenous health in Indigenous hands by awarding scholarships of $5000 to medical students.

Established in 2021 by Dr Michael Yung to honour Kathryn’s vision and support the next generation of Indigenous doctors.

One-off $5,000 grants to cover living costs, academic essentials, travel home, and whatever needed.

Awarded to outstanding First-Year students—Madelyn Johnson (2023, Gomeroi) and India Shackleford (2025, Kaurna/Ngarrindjeri).
