Sue Campbell

Board member

Sue Campbell’s connection to Parent to Parent (P2P) is both deep and personal. As one of P2P’s founding members, she has spent decades committed to helping people with disabilities. Sue’s journey began with her own son, Scott, who is now 43 years old. When Sue moved to Queensland with Scott at age 14, she wanted to learn how the disability sector worked and how it could better serve her son and family and what it means. She soon met P2P’s founder and started her journey as a volunteer, running workshops and training sessions to help families in similar situations. Sue joined the board in 2006, and her dedication has only grown since. For Sue, the “why” behind her work is clear: she wants for Scott and all people with disabilities to have equal rights, equal respect and equal obligations within society. Her strong belief in social justice and equality has been her guide, helping her to advocate passionately for a world where everyone has a fair chance to live as independently as possible. While Sue officially retired from her paid role at P2P five years ago, her days are full of community involvement. She volunteers at the local hospital, where she makes handmade items like blankets, hats, and shawls to bring comfort to children in hospital and cancer patients. She’s also involved in Hervey Bay’s Red Hat Ladies group, as well as the Partners of Veterans Association, continuing her commitment to actively supporting her community. Sue’s goal for P2P is simple yet powerful: for P2P to keep helping people with disabilities and their families, and for herself to be involved for as long as she feels she can add value. Her passion for equality, her love for Scott, and her dedication to P2P and her community make Sue a cherished member of the board and a true advocate for positive change and a more inclusive society.
