Graham served as a NSW Ambulance officer from 1965 retiring in October in 2004 and has lived and breathed ambulance work for all those years and has always been totally dedicated and committed to the Service.
Graham is the Co-ordinator of TOP who researched and developed our Program over 18 months to 2 years and finally implemented the Program on 5th March 1992.

It always worried Graham that so many young people were injured and killed in traffic accidents. When his daughters became the age that they would be on the roads as drivers this prompted Graham to try to make a difference to the way young people take for granted the high speed vehicles they have for their use, speeding and drink driving.
Graham is a deserving, dedicated and committed member of the community.  His initiatives have directly resulted in saving lives on our roads.

Graham has given his all to the Program and also set up a Traffic Awareness Program for High Schools and had the course approved by the NSW Department of Education.

Michael has been a member of the Board since October 2001.  As a solicitor working in criminal law he provides insight into the on-going affect that TOP has on participants as well as keeping the Advisory Board updated on changes to the law as they affect traffic offenders.
He also assists the Program by providing representation at Court when a participant fails to meet their obligations.  When representing participants, he also provides feedback to the Board on the reception of our Program by various Courts and their responses to the efforts of the participants.
