Community Recognition Notice - Nicole Barber Nominee LWOTYA

29 March 2022

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—I rise to congratulate Nicole Barber who was a nominee in the 2022 Local Woman of the Year Award. Nicole has been a Dietitian in the Maitland Community for 12 years. During that time Nicole has been involved in local sporting clubs and running seasonal produce workshops with Amorelle Dempster. Nicole has also facilitated a number of community talks with local business groups and chambers on nutrition topics including nutrition for runners, and nutrition for mental concentration. In addition to this Nicole has delivered presentations at Fertility Conferences on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Nicole's passion is helping others find their pathway with food, so that it is seen as a way to enable better health. She also declares that she wants to help other women to restore their own perspectives on food and to rebalance that important relationship in a positive frame. I commend Nicole on her work to help to improve the everyday life of our community members.
