A doctor dedicated to mental health, a tireless environmental volunteer, an outstanding community organisation, an inspirational youth advocate, and a passionate cultural champion are the recipients of the City of Canterbury Bankstown’s 2023 Australia Day Awards.

Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour congratulated those who received the awards and nominees and commended their dedication to ensuring Canterbury-Bankstown is a great place to live.

“People from all walks of life who do what they do out of a commitment to the community and love for others.
