Risdon Vale Volunteer Fire Brigade and the Royal Hobart Regatta Association

Dillon has shown incredible dedication and leadership through his volunteer work, devoting countless hours to two pivotal community organisations.

As a member of the Risdon Vale Volunteer Fire Brigade, Dillon responds to emergencies at all hours, both locally and beyond, and his leadership and mentoring of junior members ensures the effectiveness and safety of his brigade. He also assists with the brigade’s community, social and fundraising events. His efforts have earned him the respect and confidence of his community. His actions foster unity and connection.

Dillon’s commitment extends to the Royal Hobart Regatta Association, where he has volunteered as Water Safety Officer for the Royal Hobart Regatta for seven years. He plays a crucial role in the planning of the annual event, and on the Regatta weekend itself he drives the boat and runs on-water radio communications with enthusiasm and a commitment to safety.

Dillon serves as a role model for young volunteers and is a shining example of the spirit of volunteering.
