Vale Diana Aspinall

Vale Diana Aspinall

In January of 2020, Painaustralia regrettably bid farewell to one of our founding board members, Diana Aspinall a true champion for people living with pain.

A leading figure in the development of the health consumer movement in the Blue Mountains, Diana was also a founding member of Health Consumers NSW. She set a wonderful example over 45 years of the way consumer advocates can make a lasting difference to health and community care.

Read Health Care Consumers NSW’s tribute to Diana here.
