The Division of Forde is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland. The division was created in 1984 and is named for Frank Forde, who was briefly Prime Minister of Australia in 1945. When it was created it was a marginal seat in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, but it now has no territory in common with the original seat and is located in semi-rural areas south of the city, including Beenleigh, Beaudesert, Boonah and Loganlea. It is now a fairly safe seat for the Liberal Party. The Australian House of Representatives is elected from 150 single-member districts called Divisions. ...

Forde's Functional Fashions provides easy to use clothing and accessories for men, women and children with disabilities and their caregivers.
As a young clothing buyer for a Division of The May Department Stores, Pat traveled around the world to produce private label clothing programs that were distinctive because of their product quality and value at affordable prices.
Her personal experience as a care giver for several physically disabled and aging family members highlighted for Pat the unsuitability of "off the rack" clothing and accessories for persons who were accustomed to wearing clothes of their choice.
