For more than forty years, The Hon Joan Kirner AM has worked to eliminate inequality and empower people to shape their own futures.
The former Premier of Victoria and current Victorian Communities Ambassador is a champion for equity, empowerment and inclusion, particularly in the areas of women’s rights, educational equality, community development and the environment.
This award has been created by the Trawalla Foundation and Our Community to both honour Joan’s work, and to unearth and celebrate some of the perhaps lesser-known but equally committed social justice campaigners who are following in her footsteps (or, indeed, carving out their own paths).
