Volunteer of the Year

Bernadette Allan

As president of the Monash Oakleigh Community Support and Information Service for the past eight years, Bernadette’s care, compassion and hard work for the community has gone above and beyond. 

Bernadette is a “hands on” leader, tackling everything from stacking the grocery shelves to managing funding submissions.

She treats all equally, with respect and integrity and inspires others to volunteer.

Under her leadership, the organisation assisted 4330 people last year. Her calm and confident demeanour is at the heart of the success of this organisation.
