Vale Ms Susan Hamilton, former AFLSSQ Chief Executive Officer
Passed away 30 December 2018.
A proud, traditional Torres Strait Islander woman with degrees in both business and law, Ms Hamilton worked tirelessly to bring about much-needed change to the organisation, its structure, systems and services.
We continue to consider in a deliberative way how best to implement those changes going forward to ensure we deliver culturally-connecting legal, education, counselling and advocacy support and services for our clients and communities of Southern Queensland.
No words can adequately express our immense gratitude to Ms Hamilton for her tremendous service to AFLSSQ and our communities.
We honour her memory.
