My best congratulations to the Chancellor of Western Sydney University Professor Jennifer Anne Westacott AO, on being named a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in the King’s Birthday Honours List, with her nomination citing her eminent service to business, tertiary education, the mental health sector and the community.
It has been a pleasure to serve WSU under Professor Westacott’s leadership. In particular, as a former Australian Human Rights Commissioner and longstanding Chair of the Australian Multicultural Council, I wish to recognise Professor Westacott’s committed advocacy for multicultural Australia and her actions to combat any form of discrimination.
