“Doing something for the community, or even for yourself, a lot of times goes unrecognised and unacknowledged, and I think it often encourages a lot of other young people,” she said.
Nominations close on December 8, 2016. For more information or to nominate someone, or yourself, go to awardsaustralia.com
