Australia Day 2024

On Australia Day, January 26, we publicly recognise the exceptional contributions, hard work and determination of people who make a positive difference within Corangamite Shire.

We have many champions in our Shire who do wonderful deeds in their community, who work quietly around our towns, drive kids to footy practice, deliver meals-on-wheels, perhaps volunteer with CFA or other community organisations or have just made a difference.  The Community Volunteer Awards are an opportunity for these people and/or community organisations to be recognised for their contribution.

Please join us at the Skipton Mechanics Institute Community Hall from 10 am to celebrate the nominees and award winners, and enjoy a free BBQ lunch and live entertainment.

Margaret Zita OAM will be the special guest speaker at the 2024 Community Volunteer Awards ceremony.

Margaret has a love of family and a passion for life. Ten years across the sporting and media sectors led to a 30 year career in the airline industry. Margaret also volunteered her services to the My Room Children’s Cancer Charity and raised awareness and funds to support families, fund clinical care and invest in research that will hopefully lead to a cure for all Childhood Cancers.

With a wealth of knowledge about the issues of Childhood Cancer and the impact it has not only on the children themselves, but also for their families, she embarked on the job she describes as her lifelong passion.
