Northaven Ltd is proud to acknowledge the late Peter Kearsey, who has been posthumously awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for his outstanding service to the Inverell community.
Peter's association with Northaven began in 1993, and over the following three decades he dedicated countless hours to supporting our organisation and the people we serve. Throughout his time with Northaven, Peter held a number of positions on the Board of Directors and served as Chairperson until stepping down in 2024.
Peter was a passionate advocate for people with disability and played a significant role in shaping Northaven into the organisation it is today. His leadership, commitment, and unwavering belief in creating opportunities for others have left a lasting impact on our organisation and the wider community.
This recognition is a fitting tribute to a man whose life was dedicated to service, inclusion, and making a difference in the lives of others.
Congratulations, Peter, on this well-deserved honour. Your legacy continues to inspire us every day.
Peter was presented his Life Membership of Northaven Ltd at the opening of The Haven Cafe in 2025.
