Toni’s key contributions to the Blue Mountains community services sector were through her leadership as the CEO of Springwood Neighbourhood Centre Co-operative for nearly 20 years, from 2003 to the end of 2022.  

During this time she offered candid and valuable support in voluntary roles as Chair of the Board of the Elizabeth Evatt Community Legal Centre and as a Board member of Katoomba Neighbourhood Centre. 

Toni provided necessary and dedicated assistance to the Domestic Violence Advocacy Service in Springwood as part of the Women’s Legal Service, also. 

As a fierce advocate for people in our community who are vulnerable or disadvantaged in any way, Toni worked tirelessly to develop and implement programs and services through SNCC that supported and empowered people.  Toni Quigley’s work was testament to her strong commitment to the principles of social justice. 

I honour the woman that Toni is, the formidable and committed CEO she was and the monumental efforts she has made enhancing the life opportunities of those across her community. I applaud her inspiring and steadfast approach to life and wish her well in a well-deserved, relaxing retirement.
