Community Recognition Notice - Nikki Cousins LWOTYA Nominee

29 March 2022

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—I congratulate Nikki Cousins on her recent nomination for the Local Woman of the Year Award 2022. Nikki is the Owner, Director and Senior Occupational Therapist at Action OT, an East Maitland based clinic that provides Occupational Therapy services to clients with disabilities. Nikki's three young boys proudly assist her when volunteering in the community as a Rotarian with East Maitland Rotary Club. Within Rotary, Nikki is the Youth Director and serves on committees including the Youth Exchange Committee and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. She is also an active committee member of East Maitland Swimming Club. Nikki was instrumental in setting up the first regional Freedom Wheels bicycle clinic in the Hunter Region under the leadership of the charity Solve-TAD, which enables children with disabilities to ride adapted bikes. In addition, Nikki also founded A T Fridays, a free weekly online segment that showcases adaptive aids for people with disabilities. I congratulate Nikki on her nomination, and I thank her for the wide range of volunteer roles that she performs within our community for the benefit of all.
