The Council is a statutory body established to provide advice on veterans’ matters across the state and is also the trustee of the State’s premier war memorial, Brisbane’s Anzac Square and its Memorial Galleries and administers the Anzac Day Trust Fund.
The four new members – who were announced on November 5 – are Australian Army veterans Scott Kilma and John Stock, veterans’ families advocate Eden Santos and the returning board member and veteran Lorraine Hatton OAM, who served on the board for four years and will now serve as Council Chair.
Hatton was the first female Communications Manager with the Special Operations Task Group in Kandahar and the first Aboriginal woman to be promoted to Warrant Officer Class Two in the Australian Army’s history.
Santos has recently retired as the Northern Queensland national delegate for Defence Families of Australia and advised senior defence leadership on policies that affect them.
Kilma has extensive experience in defence and government sectors after serving in the army for 20 years, while Stock is a veteran of the Australian Army who took part in operational deployment in East Timor as part of INTERFET – both nominated to the Council by veterans’ organisation RSL Queensland.
