Dear ,

FamilyVoice Australia launched last Monday 8th March its National Mother of the Year Awards in recognition of International Women's Day (March 8).

The launch was made on the 2GB Ben Fordham show.

FamilyVoice has always supported the belief of recognising the maternal service and sacrifice mothers make as an integral part of the traditional* family unit. In this regard, we have chosen to fill the void left by Barnardo’s Australia given that they will sadly no longer offer the Mother of the Year Award.

Mothers are an amazing group of people, changing the world in a variety of ways every single day. From volunteering in classrooms to testifying in the public arena, mums are making a difference in their communities, workplace, churches, and beyond.

FamilyVoice wants to continue the tradition of recognising outstanding mothers who are passionate about making the world a better place for children and families and for the benefit of the next generation.
