Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to congratulate Dr Yin-Lan Soon, a valuable member of my local community. Dr Soon was recently named winner of the 2024 Rotary Inspirational Women's Award in the healthcare worker category. Dr Soon's contribution to the community over the years has been very inspirational. She is a forensic psychiatrist and senior lecturer, who was described as someone who serves the often-neglected incarcerated population and forensic mental health system in NSW. With extensive qualifications in medicine, psychiatry and law, Dr Soon provides psychiatric care to individuals with challenging mental health conditions across the custodial system. Her leadership in this field of work has fostered a greater understanding for the importance of mental health in our community. I am always pleased to share the inspiring work that is done by those in our community, and Dr Soon's tireless commitment to improving rehabilitation and health outcomes is just outstanding. Dr Soon's dedication and generosity is outstanding. I would like to congratulate her on this well-deserved award and thank her for her remarkable service to the community.
