Mary with Lynne Harwood Chair and Sharon Carter Figueiredo CEO of AXIS
More than a decade ago Mary Porter saw the need to establish a community-based organisation to provide training for those working in the human services area.

With a group of like-minded people, Mary established TRAHCS becoming its founding chair, a position she held until her election to the Legislative Assembly.
