Welcoming our new Patron, Her Excellency Lady Cosgrove

We are honoured that Her Excellency Lady Cosgrove has accepted the role of Patron of the Friends.

Her official biography lists her personal interests as including art and architecture, nature and gardens, and she is a keen sports follower. As the wife of our Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC, she also continues a recent tradition of vice-regal patronage.

Lady Cosgrove has been actively involved in the welfare of partners in the defence community and became the inaugural Patron of Partners of Veterans Australia. She has worked with numerous voluntary organisations supporting aged and disabled people, and endangered Australian wildlife.

We look forward to making contact with her personally in the coming weeks and months.
