Lawson Connor is a proud Wiradjuri man from Canberra and one of the 2024 graduates of the IAHA National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Academy (ACT Program).

At just 17, Lawson has achieved incredible milestones—completing a Certificate III in Allied Health Assistance through IAHA Group Training in collaboration with the Canberra Institute of Technology, all while balancing Year 11 and 12 studies, work placements at Canberra Hospital, and his role as School Vice-Captain.

Lawson’s passion for healthcare is deeply personal and cultural. Diagnosed with epilepsy at age three, he developed an early appreciation for the lifesaving work of health professionals. His experience through IAHA Group Training helped him discover his calling and the confidence to lead.

In 2024, Lawson was honoured as the ACT School-Based Trainee of the Year and went on to represent the ACT at the Australian Training Awards. In 2025, he began a new chapter—joining the ACT Ambulance Service as a Triple Zero (000) Emergency Call Taker while studying a Bachelor of Paramedicine at Australian Catholic University.

“IAHA Group Training gave me more than training—it gave me a pathway, a community, and the belief that I could achieve my goals. At 17, I’m proud to already be working in a job I love, while studying towards becoming a paramedic. I’ll carry the lessons and connections for life.” — Lawson Connor
