Keely has been nominated for the 2021 Young Australian of The Year Award.

“…in the Young Australian of the Year category is Keeley Johnson, 16, of Ballan, who was just 13 when she created the charity Keeley’s Cause with her mum to help other children with autism and learning difficulties get access to better educational resources.

Through donations, sponsorship, merchandise sales and sausage sizzles, Keeley’s Cause has been able to provide more than 100 iPads – pre-loaded with tailored education plans – to children with autism or an intellectual disability.”
