I have been involved in voluntary work in this community for many years including as an Honorary Officer with the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade for over ten years.

I am a member of the State Emergency Service, a member for thirty years during which I have attended many call outs including storm damaged homes, searches for missing persons, searches for evidence, motor accidents and community events like Gold Rush etc.

I am currently the Divisional Superintendant of the Gympie Division of St John Ambulance Australia. I have been a member of this organisation for more than sixteen years.

I am currently the President of the Gympie and District Historical Society and am a present on my second term . In more recent times I have been working with Work for the Dole and other volunteers in restoring some of Gympies history in repairing horse drawn vehicles at the Museum.
