Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Lesley Pryor with her two foster sons
Two local women have been recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for their outstanding dedication to community service, with one working in nursing and the other in foster care.
Both recipients have spent years quietly supporting others, giving their time, care and compassion to those in need without expectation of recognition. Their awards acknowledge a lifetime of service that has made a lasting impact across the community.
