Priyantha Namali Weeratunga

For more than 25 years, I’ve delivered person-centred care across the lifespan as a registered nurse, midwife, and maternal-child health nurse in both hospital and community settings. Completing a Graduate Certificate in Person-Centred Diabetes Education & Management broadened my preventive-health skill set, and I’m now working toward credentialing as a Credentialled Diabetes Educator (CDE). I founded LIFE (Learn, Inspire, Focus, Empower) Lanka, a volunteer initiative that offers culturally tailored health promotion programs to Melbourne’s Sri Lankan community. My goal is to make equitable, evidence-based care accessible at every life stage.
