Marsat Ketchell: Keeping the Torres Strait Healthy
01/06/2003
Marsat Ketchell joins Natasha Mitchell in conversation. Born and bred on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, Marsat left home at the tender age of 15 to join the Royal Australian Navy. After 26 years of service he returned to his island home to become the first ever mental health worker, indigenous or non-indigenous, to be permanently based in the Torres Strait and Northern Cape York Peninsular region. Now he's part of a team keeping islanders healthy in body and mind.
