SACOSS releases Blueprint to eradicate poverty in South Australia

Vale Barbara Garrett

It is with great sadness, respect and a deep sense of loss that the South Australian Council of Social Service marks the passing of its President Mrs Barbara Garrett MBE. Barbara was actively involved with SACOSS for close to 60 years leading debate and social change with dedication and passion. She was first elected to the role of SACOSS Vice Chairman in 1967 and fulfilled many leadership roles within the organisation and the community services and health sectors. She was the first SACOSS representative on the ACOSS Board of Governors and was SACOSS President from 1986.

Barbara was awarded an MBE in 1997 and an Australian Centenary Medal in 2001 for services to the community, particularly in health. SACOSS is honoured to have been so inspired and energized over the years by Barbara’s vision, dedication and tireless commitment to the principles of Social Justice. We will continue to fight on for justice, opportunity and shared wealth for all South Australians.
