WA Australian of the Year: Mechelle Turvey, advocate for victims of crime

In 2022, Mechelle Turvey's 15-year-old son, Cassius Turvey, was assaulted on his way home from school. Tragically, 10 days later the Noongar Yamatji schoolboy died of his injuries. His mother Mechelle, still grieving the death of her husband Sam, led the march for action in Perth calling on the nation to better support victims of violent crime.
