The first female CEO of State Schools Relief since it's inception in 1930, Sue Karzis has a lifetime commitment to improving the lives of students and young people.

Predominantly supplying clothing to at-risk and in-need disadvantaged families with the support of the State Government and partners, Sue is driving a further expansion of assistance for those in need. From improved economy of in-house uniform supply to free eye tests and glasses for children in school to iPads for non-verbal children to use for communication at home.

We talk about growing up the daughter of immigrants, from navigating the education system lacking the diversity it has today, to making life better at school for children all over the state.
