Keynote Speaker: Anna Meares OAM
She’s a household name. An Olympic icon. Australia’s most decorated female track cyclist. But Anna Meares’ most powerful story isn’t just about medals and milestones. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and rising again when life knocks you down. It’s about opening her heart as a foster mum and later embracing motherhood with her daughter. It’s about courage, compassion, and finding strength in the hardest of seasons.
Anna will share a deeply personal story that speaks to every mother, every family, and every person who has ever had to start again. Her words will move you, uplift you, and remind you of the extraordinary strength we all carry within us.
