Our Medicine Series 2 returns to NITV & SBS On Demand on Sunday March 15 at 7:30pm and to SBS on Thursday, March 26 at 8:30pm
OUR MEDICINE SERIES 2 sees the continuation ofthis powerful National Indigenous Television (NITV)documentary series, returning for an expanded second season of weekly double episodes from Sunday March 15 at 7:30pm on NITV and SBS On Demand, and from Thursday, March 26 at 8:30pm on SBS.
Deeper Access. More Episodes. Stronger Cultural Practice on Screen.
Building on the success of its six-part first season, Our Medicine S2 grows to eight episodes. Delivering unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the frontline of Australia's strained medical services, Series 2 goes deeper into high-stakes emergency care, cultural healing practices, and emotionally resonant patient journeys on Country and in community.
Where Culture, Care and Crisis Intersect
Set against the ongoing impacts of colonialism, systemic inequality and mistrust in healthcare, this season centres First Nations expertise as the solution. Told through the eyes of those delivering care, Our Medicine S2 reveals how culturally informed practice is reshaping patient outcomes, to restore trust in institutional healthcare.
From Emergency Response to Healing on Country
Expanding its reach across ambulance services, major hospitals, youth justice and remote healing centres, Our Medicine S2 captures the intensity of emergency medicine alongside the quieter, powerful work of cultural healing and continuity of care. This season continues to bring viewers insider access to major health institutions and community-led services, including the Queensland Ambulance Service, Cairns Hospital, Joyce Palmer Health Service, the Bwgcolman Healing Service on Palm Island, the Akeyulerre Healing Centre in Alice Springs, and NSW Youth Justice.
Traditional Healing Enters the Hospital System
In a landmark moment, the series documents traditional bush medicine entering a clinical setting for the first time, as Alice Springs Hospital pioneers a bicultural approach combining Western evidence-based care with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healing practices.
A Story of Strength, Leadership and Change
At a time when Australia's health system remains under pressure, Our Medicine S2 sets out to reframe the narrative - spotlighting Blak excellence, frontline leadership and the practical solutions emerging from First Nations communities themselves. Across metropolitan, regional and remote locations, this season places audiences inside dramatic, high-pressure environments while centring stories of connection, cultural safety and innovation led by First Nations practitioners.
Narrated by proud Goa, Gunggari, Wakka Wakka Murri woman Leah Purcell AM, Our Medicine S2 is directed by proud Noongar woman Karla Hart (Yokayi Footy, Family Rules) and co-directed by proud Yawuru, Bardi and Kija woman Kimberley Benjamin (Warm Props).
NITV's Head of Indigenous Commissioning and Production, Dena Curtis, said: NITV is incredibly proud to partner with Screenwest and Screen Australia's First Nations Department to welcome back Our Medicine for a second season. Grounded in Country and culture, Season 2 highlights the skill, leadership and cultural strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander frontline health practitioners, who are shaping the future of Indigenous healthcare and inspiring the next generation.
Series Director, Karla Hart said; As a filmmaker and proud Noongar woman, this series is my way of celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander excellence in health, honouring our Elders, our healers and the life-saving work happening in communities across the country, while shining a light on the compassion, cultural knowledge and quiet heroism transforming health outcomes for our people.
Co-Director, Kimberley Benjamin said: For me, Season 2 meant filming in my hometown of Broome, following the incredibly passionate and culturally grounded med student Keisha Calyun. It was a real highlight to spend time with Keisha while she navigated the highs and lows of her degree and observe how deep her cultural integrity influences her every decision. I'm so excited for audiences to tune into Our Medicine Season 2 and continue important discussions around culturally appropriate and holistic practices in health care.
Screen Australia Head of First Nations Content, Gillian Moody-Ardler said: Our Medicine is an honest and deeply inspired series shaped by the strength, knowledge and lived experiences of First Nations people. Offering a compelling look at how the expertise of our medical practitioners are reshaping care and carving new paths forward, the series return celebrates the power of First Nations storytelling and its ability to connect with and resonate deeply across all Australian communities.
Screenwest First Nations Executive, Irma Woods said: We are so proud to support Karla, Kimberley and their team on this bigger and bolder season of Our Medicine. We look forward to audiences embracing this WA-made series for a second time, and seeing how traditional healing and culturally informed practice can reshape patient outcomes.
Our Medicine S2 is a Pink Pepper and Periscope Pictures production for NITV. Principal production funding from Screen Australia's First Nations Department and NITV. Financed with support from Screenwest & Lotterywest.
