My name is Bonnesha Smith. I'm 21 years old. I grew up in a little town called Moora, about 2 hours north of Perth. I'm a proud Yued women and I have one sibling, a brother. I moved to Perth because there are more employment opportunities than in Moora. I've always been passionate about community services and helping my culture. I've always wanted a job in this sector. After a few different jobs this past year I'm really happy to be at Earbus. The team has made me feel most welcome and I'm excited to take on the challenges of my new role.

Working in partnership with the CEO and Director of Clinical Services & Outcomes, the Health Educator/Nurse Manager will be part of the Earbus Management Team, leading a team of dedicated and professional Nurses and Nurse Practitioners. This role will work across our Perth Head Office and regional and remote sites in WA.

As part of a specialised clinical team facilitating screening, treatment and follow-up for the children and families we serve, in the regions where we operate, an Earbus Outreach Nurse works within our culturally appropriate visiting service delivery model to provide a complete medical pathway to Aboriginal children and their families suffering the effects of Otitis media and middle ear disease.

Our thanks to our longest standing corporate sponsor, AngloGold Ashanti, for their generous 2022 support of our Goldfields program. AngloGold is also underwriting a targeted annual visit to Kalgoorlie Boulder Community High School, now in its second year and only made possible by their support. Our sincere gratitude, as always!

Earbus Foundation of Western Australia is a multi-award winning children’s charity established in 2013 to reduce the incidence and impact of Otitis media or middle ear disease on Aboriginal and other atrisk children.

Earbus currently works at over 100 locations across the Pilbara, Goldfields, Peel, Perth Metro, Southeast and Southwest regions of Western Australia.

Earbus Foundation has been challenged by the pandemic to find ways to keep essential ear health services running to help children be well, especially in the regions. Each year has thrown up different obstacles – vaccinations, intra-state border closures and now, Omicron variants.
