Australian 2026 Citizen of the Year

Congratulations to Our Emerald Support Group Coordinator

26 January 2026

Parkinson’s Queensland is incredibly proud to congratulate our Emerald Support Group Coordinator Peter on being named Emerald’s Citizen of the Year this past Australia Day.

This recognition is a true reflection of the dedication, compassion and community spirit they bring not only to supporting people living with Parkinson’s, but also to strengthening connections across the wider Emerald community. Their commitment, generosity and leadership make a meaningful difference to many lives.

We are grateful to have them as part of the Parkinson’s Queensland community and extend our heartfelt congratulations on this very well deserved honour.
