Other finalists were Rose Lewis from Blacktown, McKenzie Warfield from Kiama, Micquella Grima from Hawkesbury, Brooke Baker from Camden, Angela Hughes from Moss Vale and Chantelle Prosser from Albion Park.

All were keenly involved in their local community and were making a huge difference to their own and other people's lives through their commitment.
