Joy Noble Medal
The Joy Noble Medal for oustanding volunteer service in South Australian Government volunteer programs is about recognising the support of its volunteers, who through their participation in government volunteer programs, have made an outstanding contribution to the South Australian community.
The award has been named in recognition of one of South Australia's volunteering pioneers, Ms Joy Noble AM. An active volunteer throughout her life starting with enemy aircraft spotting in Port Augusta on Sunday afternoons during WW2, the Girl Guides and various church groups. In addition to implementing a range of volunteer initiatives during her career, in 1980 Joy co-founded Volunteering SA (external link) with Mavis Reynolds. |

Joy was awarded the Member in the Order of Australia (AM) for her services to the volunteer movement in 2002.
The Joy Noble Medal is a tribute to a great South Australian and recognition of outstanding contributions to volunteering by its recipients.
