In November AFDO welcomed its new Chief Executive Officer, Jeremy Muir. Jeremy has an extensive background in advocacy and service provision for people with disability. He has also been involved with the Physical Disability Council of Australia for many years, which is one of our national members.

Samantha Jenkinson, who has been acting CEO since Maryanne Diamond moved on, finished on the 16th November. Thank you Samantha for your work over the preceding six months.

At the end of August Neil Blenkiron completed the Access to Premises Campaign Kit, and finished his time as a paid worker with AFDO. Neil will be continuing to work with AFDO in a voluntary capacity as our newsletter editor. If you have articles for the newsletter you can contact Neil at editor@afdo.org.au .
