Excerpt from Philanthropy Australia:
This year’s Australia Day Honours shone a light on the inspirational work of sector leaders in areas such as trauma-informed education, social equity and mental health services for farmers. Philanthropy Australia congratulates the philanthropists and those in the not-for-profit sector who have been recognised.
In total, 732 Australians were honoured in the list for outstanding work in their communities or service areas. Those connected with Philanthropy Australia member organisations include Dr Robyn Miller AM (pictured above), CEO of MacKillop Family Services, and Natasha Johnston OAM, Founder and Director of Farm Angels, were among those who received honours. Justice and Equity Centre board member Penny Gerstle AM received her award for significant service to human rights, community health and to people with disability.
