Local Business & Community
Supporting local business has always been important to me. Through my volunteering, professional and personal life, I have established strong relationships with sporting, community and business organisations. Doing business with local people I know, like and trust is vital.
Strong foundations are built by people that share your passion, being a member of local sporting clubs and being active in Special Olympics means I understand the importance of physical and mental health for everybody.
In 2020, when people were looking for the pandemic to be over, I orchestrated online events for Special Olympics athletes and encouraged skill building when sport was still banned to maintain a positive mindset. Special Olympics Australia awarded me 2020 Special Olympics Australia Community Hero. This award recognized the outstanding contribution of community members that have gone above and beyond to provide support and community spirit during the COVID-19 lockdown; only awarded in 2020. Special Olympics Australia deemed that I had shown commitment and loyalty to my community in difficult times.
In 2022, I was awarded the Most Inspirational Team member across the BNI North Queensland networking group, exemplifying my ability to inspire and motivate others, plus strong leadership qualities with a commitment to the team.
In 2023, North Queensland Sports Foundation acknowledged me with the North Queensland’s Sportstar Volunteer of the Year Award.
At the Mackay Regional Council’s 2024 Australia Day Awards, I was honoured to receive the Lori Burgess Community Volunteer Award.
At the 2024 Queensland Sport Awards, I received Queenland Sport Volunteer of the Year.
A matter of months ago, I was recognised as Queendland Volunteer of the Year.
While I don’t volunteer for the accolades, the recognition through these awards illustrates my commitment to serve.
I have supporte local business with campaign corflutes, websites and advertising because this is where I live. My purchasing choices relate to local not price. My children were able to get their start with part time jobs in local business and local business supports local athletes.
Loyalty to locals is a priority.

I Believe Everybody Matters
Many would be aware of my leadership and coaching roles in Special Olympics over the last 10 years as well as the 30-plus years in the finance and disability industry. I have often advocated for the most vulnerable in our community and feel that everybody has a right to be heard.
You will rarely see my photograph in highlighted events in Special Olympics because I am there to serve others, not say “look what I have done”.
I have observed selfish and thoughtless behaviour that has impacted the mental and physical wellness of children, parents, friends and family. Talking with members of the community has been an issue as long as I can remember, and nothing has changed. We need to advocate for more social housing and feel safe. This has prompted my desire to make a real difference with a focus on what needs to change. The bigger picture is everybody matters.
The things that matter to me will resonate with you, and I would welcome your thoughts on issues that are important to you.

Fundraising Events
You have worked hard for your money.
So active fundraising through campaign events will NOT be a part of my campaign. I understand the pressures of the cost of living and the difficult choices that everybody makes each day on what takes priority in spending.
Everybody Matters will be spread throughout social media and I ask you to like and share my posts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to reduce the need for signs cluttering up our beautiful region.
