We need at least 4 people for each session, starting about 10:00am, and usually finishing in less than 2 hours.

 

Please let Robyn Drake know your availability - no need to apply online for this.  It would be good if you could book in with Robyn for as many sessions as you feel you can do and for the months ahead, so that I can get the roster filled well in advance. 

 

 

Van:

Are you interested in going in the van to deliver sandwiches and a drink to the homeless?  Skye, our contact at Coffee Brigade, has suggested that you book online  https://coffeebrigade.org.au/volunteer  and scroll down to fill in the form. 

Then, initially, Skye will match you up with two other experienced volunteers, until you become more experienced. Eventually, if you have indicated your connection with Brisbane High-Rise, Skye will put us together in small teams.

Judith Smith

Australian War Widows Qld

State President & War Widow Director

Judy Smith began her professional career as a registered nurse and midwife, holding postgraduate qualifications in maternal and child health. Her nursing career spanned New South Wales, Tasmania, and Papua New Guinea.

After relocating to Katherine in the Northern Territory, Judy served as Director of a community-based child care service and later as a Senior Officer with the Department of Health. In 1986, she was appointed Children’s Services Development Officer with the Katherine Town Council, undertaking a comprehensive assessment of childcare needs in preparation for the reopening of RAAF Base Tindal.

A lifelong community volunteer, Judy has held numerous leadership roles since the 1970s, including President, Treasurer, and Board Member of a wide range of sporting, civic, and health organisations in Katherine and on the Sunshine Coast.

Judy joined Australian War Widows Queensland (AWWQ) in 2013 following the passing of her husband, a World War II veteran. Since then, she has served as President of the Maroochydore Sub-Branch (2015–2020), Director on the AWWQ Board (2019–2022), and was elected State President in 2022.

AS state president, Judy is a member of the National Council of Australian War Widows Inc. She advocates on behalf of AWWQ  at Commonwealth and State forums and represents war widows at ceremonial occasions, ensuring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families are honoured and remembered.
