The Dundaloo team is deeply saddened by the passing of Trent Jennison, former CEO of Valley Industries and a respected leader in the disability services community.

Trent was a passionate advocate for inclusion and accessibility. His leadership and vision created a lasting impact—not only within Valley Industries but across the entire sector. Though we represented different organisations, we shared a common goal, and his influence was felt far beyond his own team.

Our heartfelt thoughts are with Trent’s family, friends, and the Valley Industries community during this difficult time. His legacy will continue to inspire us as we work together toward a more inclusive world. 💙
