Vale Ian Robertson

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

In memory of our esteemed work colleague, Ian Robertson, who sadly lost his battle with Leukaemia.

Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.

I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease. 

The money I raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives. 

Please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.

Ian was a very dear colleague who will be sorely missed in Treasury. He was one of a kind and truly irreplaceable. Thinking of his family and close friends at this time, RIP Ian.

I feel fortunate to have known Ian. He was a gentle soul but also funny, kind and so dedicated. A true gentleman who will be missed.

Ian lived life - on the water, in the sun, a warm smile and quiet words of encouragement. Ian made a difference.

I worked with Ian and enjoyed his dry wit and appreciated his tenacity and resolve in his work. He was a good egg and it’s sad to think he’s not with us anymore

Ian's unassuming contribution and depth of knowledge will be deeply missed; but not as much as his kindness, sense of humour and just being a lovely bloke. I wish he knew how well he is thought of by all those who knew him.

Ian was one of nicest people you'll ever meet and it was a privilege to know him. Will miss him terribly.
