Vale Shirley Peisley AM (1941 - 2024) Reconciliation SA would like to acknowledge the remarkable life and legacy of Aunty Shirley Peisley AM. A trailblazer for Aboriginal rights and reconciliation, she was instrumental in fostering understanding between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the wider community. In the 1960s, she was a member of the Council of Aboriginal Women of South Australia & made history in the 1970s as the first Aboriginal female Probation and Truancy Officer. In recognition of her extensive contributions to culture, heritage, and community welfare, she received the Order of Australia Medal in 2000 and was the first Co-Chair of the City of Adelaide Reconciliation Committee (2002-2005). In 2010, she also received a Papal Blessing from Pope Benedict XVI. Aunty Shirley played a vital role in the successful campaign for the recognition of Aboriginal peoples in South Australia’s Constitution, a landmark reform passed in March 2013 and a loved ambassador for Reconciliation SA. Her legacy continues to inspire future generations in the pursuit of reconciliation, equality, and human rights. Reconciliation SA current and previous Board members and staff deeply value the leadership and commitment of a genuinely lovely lady.
