On 10 September, I had the honour of attending the South Western Sydney/Macarthur Regional Volunteer of the Year Awards at Campbelltown Catholic Club. Now in its 18th year, this inspiring event celebrates the dedication and compassion of those who selflessly support their communities. Through their service, our communities grow stronger, more resilient, and more connected. I congratulate Uncle Eddie Burge of Macquarie Fields, a respected Wiradjuri man, named South-Western Sydney and Macarthur Volunteer of the Year for transforming Curran Public School into a hub of cultural pride. Congratulations also to Mikayla Harris, Rebekkah Hagstrom, Edward Burge, and the Macarthur Centre for Sustainable Living for their incredible efforts. The Centre for Volunteering plays an essential role in supporting volunteers across NSW, offering resources, training, and advocacy to strengthen the sector. Volunteers like Uncle Burge are an integral part of our social fabric, embodying generosity, commitment, and community spirit. I commend all volunteers for their contributions and the positive difference they make.
