The Hannah Cabinet is two-thirds Lismore’s
- Details
Already $650,000 has been raised to keep Geoff Hannah’s masterwork in Lismore. Let’s raise the bar to $1.0m and celebrate one of the world’s best-ever pieces of furniture staying in the place where it was created.
In the past thirty years Lismore master craftsman Geoff Hannah has created five magnificent timber cabinets, with this one, known simply as the Hannah Cabinet is undoubtedly the finest, largest and most technically accomplished of them all.
With a passion for 18th and 19th century furniture Geoff was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 1980, travelling to Europe to examine the intricacies of iconic pieces in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris and the Palace of Versailles.

Clearly, political decisions impact our delivery of primary health care. So it should not be surprising that health practitioners may wish to influence policies on a scale broader than just dealing with health care delivery, widening our perspective to look at the social and environmental determinants of health.
Doctors for the Environment Australia (DEA) arose as a branch of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE), founded in 1990 and now having member organisations in over 30 countries.

Imagine a perfect work day in healthcare. You were part of a motivated and well-functioning team. Patient care had been the best you could all deliver. Conversations with other healthcare workers were respectful and helpful. You had the chance to demonstrate both your leadership and follower skills and were able share your ideas and sense of humour.
Your managers had granted you the autonomy to organize your own practice areas and workflow. You felt supported by your colleagues and enjoyed a sense of job security and mental well-being. You felt empowered to call out bad or concerning behaviours and knew that any serious adverse events would be investigated by a team with expertise in human factors.
