Awarded at the Christmas Member Dinner 2025 at Claribeaux.
Richard Underwood AM has spent more than 30 years giving back to Portarlington and the wider community — volunteering across countless clubs, committees and organisations, always with a can-do attitude, calm leadership and a willingness to go the extra mile.
From President to Secretary, coach to umpire, safety officer and beyond, Richard’s contribution is unmatched. His service has been recognised with numerous awards, multiple Life Memberships (a rare achievement in our region), and even the honour of becoming a Member of the Order of Australia.
It was a privilege to award Richard Underwood AM.
Thank you, Richard, for your leadership, generosity and decades of dedication.
