Sally Isaac Memorial Scholarship Fund Award

About the award

Nominations for the 2020 Sally Isaac Memorial Scholarship Fund Award have now closed.  Thank you to all the worthy recipients who have nominated.  The winning recipient will be announced at the LGPro Women's Network Dinner to be held at the MCG in June 2021.  More details to follow soon.

In 2006, at the age of 33, Sally was appointed Director of Community Programs at Yarra City Council where she was directly responsible for 342 professional staff working in aged care, child care, community planning, advocacy, the arts and library services. 

Sally was exuberant and brave, bright and insightful, brilliant and engaging. She was focused and intelligent with an enduring commitment to making things better. She was also humble, loving and full of fun with wisdom beyond her years. 

There was truly something special about Sally Isaac and for all who knew her she will remain an inspiration and close to their hearts. Soon after her death her family, friends and colleagues met to discuss ways to recognise the incredible impact that she had on people’s lives. They decided to establish the Sally Isaac Memorial in her honour.
