ASF supports the Lighthouse Declaration

Share this Article

Three dedicated, courageous and outspoken health practitioners have launched the Cape Byron Lighthouse Declaration, aimed at encouraging health professionals to speak out against censorship and intimidation tactics employed by governments, bureaucrats, and regulatory bodies.

In a series of short video interviews, the three organising members Dr Paul Oosterhuis, Dr Robert Brennan, and Ros Nealon-Cook share key messages to their fellow health professionals, and they talk about what brought them together, what led them to speak out and formulate this declaration, and how they see the future.

ASF supports this great initiative. Professionals and concerned citizens are invited to sign the declaration.
