Dorset Community Service Award
This award was created in 2016 to recognise a former resident of Dorset, Yvonne Thorne. While no longer a resident and therefore not eligible to receive a Dorset Australia Day Award, Yvonne was awarded the first Dorset Community Service Award in 2016 to thank her for her years of service to Dorset.
