The Red Shoes project was started by architect and visual artist Elina Chauvet, born in Casa Grandes Chihuahua - one of the most dangerous
cities in Mexico. She first put together Los Zaptos Rojos Instalacion de Arte Publico in Ciudad Juarez in 2009 with 33 pairs of shoes
donated by the community when her 32-year-old sister was murdered by her husband.

Hello Goldfields, my name is Kate Yates I am the new Regional Carers Coordinator, I will be supporting our Goldfields carers navigate The
Carer Gateway. Carer Gateway is an Australian Government program providing free services and support for carers.
Are you a carer? If you care for a family member or friend with a disability, a medical condition, mental illness, or who is frail due to
age, then you are a Carer. Please fell free to make an appt and we can talk about your caring role.
I am passionate and motivated about client advocacy. I have worked in health for 23 years; my nursing career guided me to Aged care where my
basic foundations and skill base began. Moving to Kalgoorlie & working at the hospital opened my eyes to culture & diversity. This
experience and exposure to the grand Goldfields has enriched my understanding and scope of what it is like to live in the Goldfields. After 8 years at the hospital, I took a left turn into complimentary health, studying an Advanced Diploma in Kinesiology and became Yoga teacher.
When I’m not at working you will find me with my Horse Mr DJ, we are currently working together to learn dressage. You will see me
