It is with the fondest respect and gratitude that Afford would like to pay tribute to our former CEO, the late Tim Walton who sadly passed away. Disability support services in Australia have benefited largely from the progressive initiatives driven by Tim Walton during his 35 year career and work in the vocational services, health, education, and disability sectors. Tim was tireless in his efforts to improve the opportunities and services available to people with disability. During his 15 year tenure as Chief Executive Officer of Afford, Mr Walton was instrumental in the organisation’s growth. Until he stepped down from his Afford position in 2014, Mr Walton provided forward-thinking initiatives to progress the organisation and its clients. In addition, Mr Walton made a significant contribution to supporting people with disability in his roles as President of National Disability Services (NDS) and Chair of NDS NSW, particularly being at the forefront in the establishment of the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme). Mr Walton also chaired the “Every Australian Counts” committee that successfully campaigned for the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and was the NDS Board representative on the National Disability & Carer Alliance. Afford offers its condolences to Tim’s family, his passion and legacy will be remembered fondly and continue to live on at Afford. Steven Herald, Afford CEO
