Mrs Tonya McCusker Accepts Patronage of Ngala

Posted on: Mon 3 October 2011

Ngala is delighted to announce that Mrs Tonya McCusker has recently accepted Ngala’s invitation to become Patron of the organisation.

The support of the Governor and Mrs. McCusker as Patron of Ngala is extremely important for the organisation to support our fundraising efforts and to help raise the profile of the essential work that we undertake. Mrs. McCusker works closely with more than 100 community and charitable organisations and as a busy mother herself, can empathise with the many challenges that parents face today.  We very much welcome her as our Patron and look forward to working with her in the future.  

Mrs. McCusker said:

“Having children of our own, the Governor and I are fully aware of the challenges facing parents when their little blessing arrives.  I have spent many a sleepless night walking back and forth trying to get a little one to sleep.  I have also heard many friends refer to the advice and support offered to them by Ngala as invaluable.  Having called Ngala for advice on two occasions when our second son James refused to sleep, I can confirm that the service Ngala provides is outstanding.  I am delighted to accept patronage and to support an organisation that provides critical support to families with young children”.   

His Excellency Mr Malcolm McCusker, AO, QC, Governor of WA and his wife Mrs. Tonya McCusker and their children James and Mary visited Ngala headquarters in Kensington in late August. Ngala's CEO Mrs Rae Walter hosted this visit along with senior staff, Eric Kinsella, Chairperson of the Ngala Board of Directors, Friends of Ngala Vice President the Mrs Jill Curnow and members of the Friends of Ngala Executive Committee.
