It is with sadness that I write to inform you of the passing of one of PDA’s long-standing members, Janine Neu.

I served with Janine on the Committee of Management of People with Disabilities WA from 2017 to 2019. I fondly remember very robust discussions regarding finances and how to best utilise them. This usually involved me wanting to spend, and her telling me that I couldn’t.

Janine was a very quiet person, reflective, until she had something to say, and then you knew you were being spoken to!

On behalf of the Board, Staff and Members of PDA, we would like to offer our most sincere condolences to Janine’s partner, Bernard and all her family, friends and colleagues.

RIP Janine.
