Tremane Baxter-Edwards

Regional Brand Ambassador

When I stepped into the Regional Ambassador role, I wanted to make sure children from remote and regional communities could access the same opportunities I was given. Throughout 2025, I’ve had the privilege of helping Back on Track build genuine connections across the Kimberley and Pilbara. Introducing the team to local services, youth groups, schools, and community leaders has shown me how powerful collaboration can be when it centres culture, trust, and children’s wellbeing.

Many families and organisations in the north are ready for stronger, more consistent support for young people recovering from cancer. Helping Back on Track connect with these groups has been one of my most meaningful responsibilities this year. I’ve seen firsthand the difference it makes when regional voices are heard early and included in the design of programs that affect our communities.

This year also gave me a chance to think about what the future could look like. When Kylie explained the vision for SAFE AI and how it could support children in my mob and other mobs, it made immediate sense to me. A tool that helps teachers understand the effects of cancer, distance, and trauma on learning could change outcomes for young people who often sit at the intersection of disadvantage and potential. I told Kylie she was a visionary because I believe this work can set a new standard for how regional and Indigenous students are supported.

As for my own path, Caroline has continued to guide me through my university transition as I balance community commitments and national youth leadership roles. I am committed to doing this in a way that keeps me grounded in where I come from and the people I represent.

Back on Track’s expansion into northern WA has been significant this year, and I’m proud to have played a part in those early introductions and partnerships. I look forward to continuing to support this work so more kids from remote and regional areas get the chance to chase their potential, just like I did.
