Having made the leap north a decade ago, Page has never looked back. The Territory’s strength, resilience, and fierce sense of community have shaped who she is and continue to fuel her work every day. For eight of those years, she lived and worked across some of the most remote parts of the Northern Territory, including five years commuting from Katherine to communities across the region.

Those experiences taught her what real strength looks like – the kind carried by women holding families, communities and culture together, often against impossible odds. Page is deeply committed to the work and vision of KWILS, standing beside women, challenging systems that harm them, and striving for a Territory where equality is not aspirational but expected.
