Georgia Lindsay Malone’s story starts on December 29, 1979, when she was born in Australia to parents Michael John Malone and Joanne Margot Malone. Georgia’s community meant the world to her, and her presence will be dearly missed by so many. Georgia was a true champion of the arts, and her incredible career has left a lasting legacy for the world. For nearly thirty years, Georgia has been a passionate leader in Australia’s arts industry. From her school days through to her leadership across the country, she honed an enviable breadth of knowledge built on her experience in all art-forms from the ground up: from intern, stage manager to CEO, mentor and funder. She had a deep impact on the sector, and countless artists and leaders will attest that they would not be where they are today without her honesty, wisdom and support. Georgia fought tirelessly for what she believed in, and her influence on the arts community will reverberate for years. We are all privileged to have known her.
Georgia leaves behind her loving husband John, parents Mick and Jo, and brother Toby. Her podcast, Georgia Malone’s ‘Here Goes Nothing’, is a testament to the important work she did to her final days. Listen to it wherever you get your podcasts.

I had the honour of knowing Georgia only a short time, and in that time came know her as a giver. Her generosity shone through her work, her love for her family and husband, and as a welcoming friend.
My last memory of Georgia, after chatting at East Perth Power Station talking about how proud she was of JC, was watching her walk away hand-in-hand with JC and disappearing into the multicoloured flashing lights.
Thank you Georgia, for showing us all how to tackle life with vivacity and courage.

Dear Jo and Mick,
I had hoped to be able to be with everyone at UWA today to farewell your beautiful daughter, but I cannot. However, I am thinking of you and sending you all my love in this truly devastating time. I hope you have some comfort from all your daughter has done to touch so many, and from her generosity. All my love, Josephine Wilson

Vale dear G. I had the privilege to connect and work with Georgia on short term contract and then within the sector. She was generous with her time, witty, incredibly funny, beaming with kindness. Brilliant and bright, she will be missed but her light wont be dimmed. My sincere condolences to JC & the Malone family xxx

Dear JC, Jo, Mick and Toby
I have been thinking about Georgia a lot, since hearing this devastating news. I admired her tanacity and gutsy approach to everything she did. In those early years with the Perth Festival, one of the hardest workers.... and always delivered what she said she would. More than this her joy and approach to life and work was a family affair. Bravo to you all for being the mirror to who Georgia's was and remains the light that continues to flow.
Sending love xx

Memories of sleepovers in Burnie, staring at the woodchip pile and talking about all of our favourite people and places on the west coast we missed during those very odd months in 2020. Sharing arts festivals, ideas and plenty of rose. I'll always be grateful for how much you shared, beautiful G. Love you so very much.
