Nikhil Autar, 2024 australian of the year, has passed away
Sad post but I just saw this :( Nikhil moved to Australia from Fiji and was diagnosed with leukaemia at just 17. He went through so much - chemo, heart surgery, chronic illness - but still was so brave and strong enough to finish university where he studied medicine
He was such an amazing inspiration to me and so many others. He was such a smart, innovative person and had so many ideas to make navigating health care so much easier for those living with illness and disabilities :(
My heart is a little broken today. RIP Nikhil who was such a brave, strong person, and an inspiration to so many ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
