Patron of the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre

The Governor of Victoria, Her Excellency the Honourable Linda Dessau AC has been the Patron of SZCC since November 2018.

The patronage recognises the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre’s contribution to the Victorian community through its work in law and cultural diversity.

It also acknowledges the success of the Centre's thought leadership regarding access to justice via technological innovation.

The Governor and her husband, Mr Anthony Howard QC, have long supported the work of the Centre, including:

  • hosting the graduation of our Muslim Leaders Education Program at Government House
  • presenting graduation certificates to the participants in our Chinese Legal Executive Education Program
  • formally launching the Centre’s exhibition on Sir Zelman Cowen ‘A Life of Opportunity and Success’, which included an interview with the Governor where she reflects on Sir Zelman Cowen’s life and legacy.
