THE CONFAB WITH MICHAEL G IN CONVERSATION WITH VAL DEMPSEY THURSDAY 13 MARCH AFTER THE 6 PM NEWS
Val was awarded 2022 Senior Australian of the Year in 2022.
Starting as a cadet volunteer while still in primary school, for more than 50 years Val has dedicated her life to St John Ambulance. She’s one of the Australian Capital Territory’s longest-serving volunteers and, year after year, she still dedicates more hours than any other volunteer.
In 2020, Val faced her biggest challenge yet as a St John Ambulance volunteer – first with the ‘Black Summer’ bushfires, followed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, she led 40 fellow volunteers as they supported fire-affected communities during the emergency that stretched over many weeks.
It was these tireless commitments to St John that has led many in the community to know her lovingly as ‘Aunty Val’.
Join me on the ConFab to gain an understanding of her life and passions.
