Vicki Jellie is currently serving as the Mayor of Warrnambool but before she entered into this role, Vicki was already considered a local hero, not only in our eyes but was officially named The Australian Local Hero of 2017 receiving her award from, then Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.

This interview is the first time that Vicki Jellie has told her whole story. It is a story of grief, courage, community and above all, love. 

This episode was filmed by Fitzmedia at Silver ball studies and the entire episode can be viewed on Youtube. It was important to capture this story for prosperity so that future generations understand the history of how the South West Cancer Centre was built by its local community. 

Thanks to the efforts of local hero, Vicki Jellie, the South West community and local and state members of parliament, patients can receive treatment in Warrnambool rather than spending hours on the road driving to Geelong and Melbourne.
