A message from Andrew Hagger, CEO, Minderoo Foundation and Tattarang

On behalf of the Forrest family, and as the former Chair of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre Appeal for some years, I send my deepest condolences to Olivia’s husband John, daughter Chloe and extended family.

Olivia Newton-John was a pioneer and tireless champion for cancer research and treatment, combined with wellness. Her research and advocacy work has already saved many lives and will continue to save many more in the future.

She was very hopeful that Tattarang would acquire Gaia Retreat & Spa, and so excited when Andrew and Nicola Forrest decided to, because she deeply cared about that precious place on the Northern Rivers, its loyal staff, and the equally loyal clientele who visit for its healing rest and refreshment.

Olivia always signed off her correspondence ‘love and light’, and that’s what she brought to everyone around her.

~ Olivia and her family have requested donations to be made to her charity, the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, in her memory instead of flowers.
