Dusti-Lee will now represent Australia at the WorldSkills International competition in Abu Dhabi later this year.

Various speakers congratulated Dusti-Lee and Virginia on their remarkable achievements with Peter McMahon, General Manager of Car Craft Accident Repair Centres presenting the actual awards.
