In 2011, Rebecca Healy (pictured), a 25-year-old mother of two from Tennant Creek in NT, was named Barnardos Australia’s Mother of the Year.

Rebecca is an inspiring woman, raising two-children of her own as well as having fulltime care of her teenage sister - plus a high profile career. Rebecca is so amazing that, after winning our award, she was named 2012 NT Young Australian of the Year! You can read about Rebecca here.

“I believe that if children are given positive encouragement and support they will feel good about themselves and that attitude can inspire them to lead happy, productive lives,” says Rebecca.

Nominations are now open for Barnardos Australia’s Mother of the Year for 2012.
