Speaker, I rise today to honour John Tyler who has been working alongside St John’s Ambulance for over 35 years. This is a remarkable achievement and I thank John for all of his service to our community.

Within his role, John helps provide health services within the community which involves providing medical assistance and training to individuals. As a divisional officer, he also co-ordinates the training of other volunteers and in 2010 he played a crucial role in providing a youth program for the local region.

Speaker, I rise today to recognise an icon of our local community, Cathy Nisbet, who has been a critical part of local community organisations including Shopfront Arts and Kogarah Community Services.

Just before Christmas last year, Cathy left Shopfront Arts to peruse a role at Lost in Books in Fairfield. Cathy is an asset to our community and her ability to mentor talent and build up an organisation is second to none.
