A dedicated, dynamic leader, Dr Felicity-ann Lewis is passionate about creating a better, healthier, more inclusive Australia. She has worked tirelessly to further reconciliation with Aboriginal people, and to support the settlement process for refugees and migrants. Both a leader and a team player, Felicity-ann sits on many boards, including the Migrant Resource Centre and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander War Memorial Fundraising Committee.
Felicity-ann has helped raise $100,000 towards Australia’s first memorial recognising the sacrifice of Indigenous people in war. Her passion for the community is matched by a commitment to health promotion, and she achieved a Doctor of Education from the University of South Australia in August 2013 and is currently a senior lecturer at Flinders University.
An inspiration to many, Felicity-ann is also the long-serving Mayor of Marion and National President of the Australian Local Government Association. Felicity-ann’s actions, as much as her words, encourage people to make their communities the best they can be.
The Australia Day Council of South Australia acknowledges the Adelaide region as the traditional country of the Kaurna people and respect Elders past, present and emerging. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land.
