are delighted to announce (for those who haven’t already
heard) that our very own Heather Gridley was awarded a
Medal of the Order of Australia yesterday for her
services to community health! This award recognises
Heather’s outstanding contribution to the community, in
particular community psychology.<span> </span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">As
most of you may be aware, Heather has been a trailblazer
in community psychology both in Australia, across the
Trans-Tasman and internationally for three decades.
Heather’s interest in community psychology stemmed from
her work in community health in the 1980s, where she
became aware of the limitations of interventions
directed solely at individuals. In 1990 Heather joined
the fledgling Victoria University, where she coordinated
the postgraduate program in Community Psychology, which
remains a highly sought after course and has a
reputation for producing graduates with a strong
commitment to social justice, critical thinking ability
and skills applicable to the complex problems of today.
Heather is a committed supervisor and mentor, with many
past students attesting to her influence on their career
and life pathways, most of whom she is still in touch
with today!<span> </span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Heather
has been a driving force within the Australian
Psychological Society’s (APS) College of Community
Psychologists for many decades. She has ensured the
group remain active and viable, connecting graduates and
networking across groups, cities and states,
relentlessly fighting for community psychology’s
legitimacy and survival within Australia. Heather has
also remained committed to building connections across
the Trans-Tasman as evidenced by her ongoing involvement
in the Trans-Tasman community psychology conferences,
including as conference Chair at the Melbourne
conference in 2017.<span> </span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Heather
has written and published extensively about community
psychology and encouraged and supported others to do so.
Her most recent accomplishments include Editor of the
Australian Community Psychologist special issue and a
chapter in the APA Handbook of Community Psychology.<span> </span></span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">And
of course true to the values of community psychology,
Heather has been a champion of the rights of
marginalised groups and those who face disadvantage
including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
and communities, women and girls, migrants and refugees
and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and
Intersex people. Her work in partnership with Indigenous
Psychologists (both Australian and Maori) and ongoing
active membership of the APS Women and Psychology
Interest Group were particularly noted in the
application for the OAM.</span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Heather
worked for 12 years as Manager of the Public Interest at
the APS and has served two terms on the APS Board where
she has been influential in ensuring that psychology is
applied in the interest of community wellbeing and
social justice. She currently holds an Honorary Fellow
position in the School of Social Sciences and Psychology
at Victoria University.</span><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><br style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><span style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-size:14.6667px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Please
