Western Australia's newest Senior Australian of the Year says he is still coming to terms with the unexpected honour.
Brother Thomas Oliver "Olly" Pickett has been recognised as the state's Senior Australian of 2025 after 27 years of volunteering at Wheelchairs for Kids.
The 83-year-old Christian Brother from Geraldton, 400km north of Perth, co-founded the organisation, which has provided over 60,000 custom-built wheelchairs for kids in 80 countries.
He is now the organisation's volunteer factory manager.
