 BY IAN CROUCH

Renowned surgeon and Newcastle University Professor, Dr Kelvin Kong has been named the 2023 National NAIDOC Person of the Year.

As an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist, Dr Kong, who's a proud Worimi man, has dedicated much of his work to addressing hearing loss in young indigenous children, which he says is often at chronic levels especially in remote communities.

Dr Kong hopes to use his award as a platform to speak about ear disease in Australian children.
