Judy Jacka OAM
It is with much pride that the Jacka Foundation for Natural Therapies can announce that Judy Jacka has been awarded the Order of Australia medal for her service to community health via natural therapies.
Judy was a trailblazer, dedicating over 50 years to healing, writing, education, political work on behalf of naturopathy, research and philanthropy. Many people have and will continue to benefit from her dedication to making natural medicine part of the Australian health care landscape.
Our only sadness is that she is not with us to personally receive this wonderful recognition.
