Lorna Hodgkinson was a remarkable Australian of great dedication and vision.  Lorna was the first woman to receive a Doctorate at the prestigious Harvard University, USA. As a teacher herself, Lorna was passionate in her belief that people with an intellectual disability should be supported to lead meaningful lives. Lorna established the Sunshine Institute, which is where Unisson Disability’s story began.

The Lorna Hodgkinson foundation is the parenting body of Unisson Disability. The foundation ensures that we can continue our work establishing and deepening connections with our clients and their families.
