Award for advocate against family violence Share
A LOCAL advocate in the field of family violence has been awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia.
Edithvale resident Emma Gierschick has been recognised for her services to the community. The breast cancer and family violence survivor is a fierce advocate for the prevention of child, disability, and family violence.
Ms Gierschick has been published in key government reports and inquiries, including the Royal Commission into Family Violence and the Children’s Rights Report. She has also spoken all around Australia as part of her advocacy work.
In 2018, she was named the inaugural Kingston Woman of the Year.
