After an extraordinary 32 years of service, we say a heartfelt goodbye to Graham McKercher, who recently resigned from CRCS to take some time out, enjoy being a grandad, and undertake some international travel.
Graham has been a cornerstone of our organisation, growing the Transport Program from one car and a handful of trips in 1992 to a fleet of 12 vehicles delivering over 60,000 trips annually by 2025/26.
As Senior Manager – Transport, Graham ensured thousands of older adults and people living with health conditions or disability could stay connected to community, services and support.
His leadership of the 10/10 Project – providing gardening support to people experiencing challenges – reflects his deep care for community and people doing it tough. Over the years, Graham has also been one of the organisers of on initiatives such as our participation in Relay for Life, trivia nights, and introducing the Governor General at the Seniors’ Expo that we once ran.
Graham was a finalist in the 2023 Westfield Belconnen Local Hero Awards, another reflection of his impactful work at CRCS.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Graham brought heart, humour, and an incredible legacy to CRCS. We thank him for everything he’s contributed and wish him great fun and relaxation in his next chapter.
We look forward to seeing you again soon, Graham!
