Joan Stone AM
"You get more out of volunteering than you give."
Joan has flourished in her ‘third age career’ working as a volunteer, board member and chair on a range of age advocacy and aged rights groups. She has been an influential voice for the development and direction of the policies and design of retirement villages.
From life as an evacuee in the Blitz of London, new migrant to Australia and living in a rural community, Joan has always contributed to her community.
Joan received a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for her volunteer work with retirement villages in 2020.
