CRU was deeply saddened to learn that Joan Hailstone passed away earlier in January. Joan had a tremendous impact on the disability community and the disability service system in Qld through her advocacy and leadership. Directly and indirectly, Joan has inspired and encouraged several generations of family leaders, people with disability, workers, professionals and friends to expect better for people with disability, and to work with others to act strategically and effectively for change.Joan and her late husband Tom were parents to Cathy, Chris, Susan and Scott. It was the mistreatment of daughter Susan that was the catalyst for Joan’s involvement in family leadership.Joan was a founding member of QPPD (Qld Parents for People with Disability) and was its president in the late 80s when the organisation sponsored the creation of both QAI (now Queensland Advocacy for Inclusion) and CRU. Her involvement in QPPD took her across regional and rural Qld meeting families and delivering workshops. She presented at interstate conferences and forums, influencing, challenging and inspiring countless people. Joan, in collaboration with others, also established a family-governed support service called Homes West in 1990. With little funding, this innovative service enabled the families to support each other in pursing real homes and genuine inclusion for their family members. Today Joan’s daughter Susan continues to live in her own home in her community. Joan was a committed, wise and courageous agent for change. She was widely respected and much loved. We offer our sincere condolences to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and her many friends. Vale Joan. ... See MoreSee Less
