Melita Chilcott

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to Melita Chilcott on your outstanding volunteer work at Maitland Hospital. For two years, Melita has dedicated her time and skills to brighten the days of patients, visiting weekly to provide haircuts and shaves. Melita's selfless efforts not only improve patients' appearance but also boost their morale during challenging times. Her work has touched countless lives, including patients who are unable to communicate. Demand for this service is so high that Melita recently put the call out for additional volunteer hairdressers to also contribute to this valuable community service. Deservingly Melita was named Maitland Citizen of the Year in 2022 and Local Woman of the Year in 2021.Congratulations Melita Chilcott on your inspiring dedication to improving the lives of hospital patients at Maitland Hospital.
