In honour of Kate
Our beloved Kate was a deeply generous and supportive person who brought colour and joy to the lives of so many. Through her artistic vibrance and enthusiasm, she inspired her family, friends, colleagues, and the children she taught.
Kate passed away on 22 June 2026 at the age of 60, just a month after being diagnosed with cancer.
Kate and her family are profoundly grateful for the care she received at Canberra Hospital and Clare Holland House.
In Kate’s memory, your gift will help support patients and honour the dedicated healthcare professionals who provide care through Canberra Health Services.
All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt by email immediately after making your donation.
Thank you for helping us honour Kate’s life and legacy.

Kate epitomised Reggio's declaration of 'nothing without joy'. Probably already busy updating the rainbow's colour palette! Will keep an eye out...
