The sporting achievements of Paralympic Gold Medallist and 2024 Paralympian of the Year Lauren Parker has been recognised with a commemorative stamp.
At the Paris Paralympics, Parker won three medals across two sports and is Australia’s first dual-sport Paralympic gold medallist at a single Games since 1976.
Australia Post executive general manager retail Josh Bannister, said the commemorative stamp is a fitting tribute to her achievements. “As one of Australia’s largest disability-confident recruiters, I’ve seen firsthand how, with the right support and determination, people of all abilities can achieve greatness, just like Lauren,” he said.
Paralympics Australia chief executive Cameron Murray said: “Lauren’s tenacity and resilience resonate with so many Australians, which is why we are grateful to Australia Post for producing these stamps which are fitting tribute to an incredible Paralympic athlete and role model.”
The stamp sheetlet will be available at participating Post Offices and online at auspost.com.au/shop/sending/stamps while stocks last.
