I would like to acknowledge Susie McLennan of Wauchope for her outstanding career as an occupational therapist. She's retiring in July after a 55-year career. Susie is a well-known therapist, honoured and respected by the whole community in Wauchope. She started her career at Mt Wilga Rehabilitation Centre in Hornsby and set up many ADL, activities of daily living, programs, which are now stock standard across occupational therapy. She worked in Canada and attended the international occupational therapy congress, visiting rehabilitation centres and continuing to work there for 18 years. In Australia, she set up the psychogeriatric team at Macquarie Hospital, in Ryde. Thank you so much, Susie, for your dedication and work over the years.

Also, I put out a big congratulations to Club Forster, after being recognised at this year's Clubs and Community Awards. Club Forster was named the winner in the mental and social wellbeing category, which recognises all the innovative approaches to supporting and improving mental wellbeing. The Clubs and Community Awards are the New South Wales club industry's premier awards. It really shows the outstanding social contribution that Club Forster has given.
