Cabonne Council is pleased to announce that Cheryl Koenig will be the Australia Day Ambassador in 2023.
Cheryl Koenig OAM, is a Sydney-based author of five published books and a highly sought after motivational speaker.
She has been an Australia Day Ambassador since 2011; as well as an Ambassador for several not-for-profit organisations; and sits on various Government and NGO committees in the health care arena.
In 2009 Cheryl was named NSW Woman of the Year for her huge commitment to community and fundraising work.
In 2014 she received the Medal of the Order of Australia for “services to people with disabilities, their families and carers”. Her involvement with disability services arose out of caring and advocacy for her son who was severely injured in a motor vehicle accident.
