Historical information

Vivian Statham (nee Bullwinkel) visits Melbourne from her home in Perth to launch the National Mutual Nurses' Month, taking place throughout May. The biggest woman's project of the bicentennial, Nurses' Month will involve nurses throughout Australia.
Though Vivian is now retired she is still very involved and concerned about the nursing world. Possibly best known as the courageous lone survivour of the massacre of Australian Army nurses by the Japanese in World War Two, Vivian went on to be matron of the Repatriation Hospital and then Fairfield Hospital.
