Show Notes
Angie Nisbet, a fifth-generation grazier from Queensland, won the 2026 Rural Womens Award for her work in skin protection. After losing a friend to skin cancer and her sister battling melanoma, she co-founded FarmHer Hands with her sister, creating colorful gloves with UPF fifty-plus protection for farmers. These gloves aim to shield hands from the intense Australian sun during long days of mustering cattle. Australia faces high melanoma rates, with skin cancer claiming a life every six hours. Nisbet pushes for everyday prevention like gloves to spark conversations among workers. Shell use her award to build online skin care resources for remote communities and represent Queensland at the national awards.
