We are saddened by the news of Governor-General Dame Catherine Tizard's passing.
Dame Catherine Tizard was the first woman to be appointed as Governor-General and we are fortunate to have a special memory of Dame Catherine Tizard opening The Wellington Women's House in 1992.

We would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the new Governor-General of Aotearoa New Zealand, Dame Cindy Kiro.
