My Giving Back Strategy.

Some of you may already be familiar with my Giving Back Strategy, where I engage in various stroke-related activities to express my gratitude to those who have supported me throughout my rehabilitation journey.

My intention in sharing these endeavours is not to elevate my own importance, but to highlight the opportunities available for stroke survivors and the value of their lived experiences.By participating in these activities, I hope to inspire others to see the potential for recovery and the positive impact they can have on their community.

In 2025, my activities included the following......

The George Institute for Global Health

I continued my association with TGI, as a member of the Brain Health Program,and am a member of 3 projects. I was invited to become an Honorary Consumer Fellow, this follows my tenure as the Inaugural Chair of the Consumer and Community Advisory Group.

National Stroke Rehabilitation Taskforce

In November 2025, I was appointed as one of two Consumer Representatives on the National Stroke Rehabilitation Taskforce. The Taskforce’s goal is to tackle key gaps in Australia’s stroke rehabilitation services, working to ensure all stroke survivors have fair access to high-quality care.

A national plan for stroke rehabilitation will be developed and put into action, building on past and ongoing efforts to enhance various aspects of care.

My Lecturing activities

During 2025, I spoke with Physio students at the Australian Catholic University, North Sydney, Ballarat and Brisbane campuses, Newcastle University, Uni of East Anglia \{UK\}, Masters Students at University of Western Australia. In the nine years since I commenced this activity I have spoken with in excess of 2,600 students- an activity I genuinely enjoy!

I also was/am involved in the following projects as a Consumer Rep or Project Team Member-RECONNECT, SUPPORTIVE STRIDES projects.

I continued to promote the I-REBOUND project, and also became a Consumer Member of the Centre of Online Health, University of Queensland Staff Committee.

I was listed as a Co-Author on Five Research projects during 2025 and appeared as a Panellist on PXP2025 Online Webinar in October 2025.
