It was announced in June that Mrs Scott had been awarded an Order of Australia medal.
Mrs Scott was honoured for her many years of community work, including with various show societies and progress associations, the Country Women’s Association, Legacy, Bathurst Hospital Auxiliary, Bathurst Blood Bank, Red Cross, Can Assist, Macquarie Care, Pink Lady and the Bathurst Eisteddfod.

- Maisie Scott
Mrs Scott and her late husband, Charles ‘Mac’ Scott, raised seven children at the Meadow Flat property where she still lives.
She said volunteering had always been important to her.
Mr Scott was a councillor for Evans Shire and Lithgow, and a president of Blaxland Shire - all community roles that Mrs Scott said had inspired her to do her own bit for the community.
Mrs Scott was also inducted as one of Bathurst’s Living Legends during the bicentenary in 2015.
She said while she was deeply honoured and proud to receive an OAM back in June, each of her volunteering roles had been very much a “team effort”.
