Posting now as I may get no further in the process lol… 😅
I’ve just learned I’m nominated in the NSW Community Hero category of the NSW Women of the Year Awards. ⭐️
The NSW Community Hero Award “shines a light on the accomplishments of an extraordinary woman who works tirelessly to contribute to the prosperity of those in her local community.” To me, even being considered in this category is an honour.
The awards are an initiative of Women NSW, the lead NSW Government agency responsible for improving the lives of all women in NSW by driving equality through policy, innovation and collaboration. Their purpose is to promote gender equality and advance the social, economic and political status of women and girls of all cultures, ages and backgrounds.
Community is about showing up and contributing. A huge part of that has been my work as an Ambassador, Trainer & Spokesperson over the years for various charities including The Fred Hollows Foundation, Dementia Australia, Kiss Goodbye to MS, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Action Aid Australia & more. I’m so grateful to these organisations for including me in their endeavours and giving me the chance to contribute to their vital work.
Finalists will be announced in February 2026, with winners celebrated during NSW Women’s Week in March. Whatever happens next, I already feel proud and thankful for this nomination… 💖
