I recognise Ellen Armfield, a remarkable 19‑year‑old from Wakehurst. Ellen currently chairs the New South Wales Youth Advisory Council, which is an impressive achievement. As a lived experience storyteller with batyr and a member of its national youth advisory group, Ellen courageously shares her journey to raise awareness about physical and mental health challenges.
Beyond that, she champions the rights of autistic girls and gender-diverse individuals through speaker panels organised by Yellow Ladybugs and Orygen, advocating for inclusivity and breaking down societal barriers. Ellen's passion and advocacy are a shining example for our community and our State. I thank her for her work in creating a more inclusive, supportive world.
