The Philippa Campbell Fellowship
Phillipa Campbell was a wonderful woman who was passionate about respect for older people, equality for women and human kindness. Philippa dedicated much of her life to working with older people, including as CEO of Elder Rights Advocacy, Victoria. Philippa died in 2023, when she was just 56 years of age. We want to celebrate Philippa’s life and the contribution she made to making the world a better place.
