Vicki Wall, Lower Hutt, QSM, for services to people with disabilities
Mrs Vicki Wall trained as a psychopaedic nurse in the 1980s, caring for and supporting people with an intellectual disability. Nursing in this field is her passion and has fuelled her working life. In the 1990s she worked with many others to establish the Dawn Trust, a community-based service in the Hutt Valley for people with an intellectual disability who had lived in institutional care. Mrs Wall works in partnership with those she supports on a pathway that aims to help them achieve full and rich lives.
