Lynette Nixon is an Australian human rights advocate, author, and community leader. A Gunggari woman from south-west Queensland, she is recognised for her advocacy for education, traditional language, reconciliation, health, housing, and legal services for Aboriginal communities.

Advocacy edit

Nixon was involved in establishing the Aboriginal Housing Company in 1979, serving as president, vice-president, and a committee member for many years.[1] She developed educational resources for Aboriginal studies and introduced a language program into primary schools as a language worker for the Kombumerri Aboriginal Corporation.[1]

Nixon is one of the authors of Binang Goonj – Bridging Cultures in Aboriginal Health, a textbook on improving the education of doctors and nurses on Aboriginal health and cultural competency.[2]

Nixon is the director of the Gunggari Native Title Aboriginal Corporation and the founding member and Gunggari representative on the Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations (NBAN) Committee.[1] She is a storyteller and a cultural keeper of knowledge for the Gunggari people.[3]

Nixon, a founding member of Queensland Murray–Darling Committee's Regional Aboriginal Advisory Group (RAAG), launched the Queensland Murray–Darling Committee 'Reconciliation Action Plan – Innovate' at Goondiwindi in 2018.[4]
