This is set to be a very unique Sunday afternoon for the Hepburn Shire, with an almost two hour presentation from a genuine Australian sporting legend, a proven entrepreneur, and a passionate advocate for women & men’s wellbeing, as she shares her journey of resilience and achievement in and out of the public eye.
Lisa Curry
Lisa Curry AO is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most popular personalities, with a unique and powerful message about personal success, overcoming obstacles, discipline, determination, weight loss, regaining your health, and getting the best out of people.
She has achieved and learnt so much from being a triple Olympian, Keynote Motivational speaker, bestselling author of six Health and Fitness books, Personal trainer, Coach, Board member, TV and Radio presenter, Product ambassador, defibrillator recipient and mum. With five Online Weight Loss and Fitness Programs and her new Hormonal Imbalance educational website, Lisa continues to work and speak to help motivate, inspire and educate people to help them realise their full potential.
Best known for her long and successful swimming career; she has competed in three Olympic Games, two World Championships and three Commonwealth Games and her competitive swimming career spanned an awe-inspiring 23 years and saw her ranked in the top 25 swimmers in the world every year she competed.
She held Australian and Commonwealth records in every stroke (except backstroke) from 50m to 400m, a feat no other Australian swimmer has ever achieved. She was also the first swimmer to represent Australia at Commonwealth and Olympic Games as a mother. At the age of 30, and with 2 small children, Lisa swam the fastest ever at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and rates this as the highlight of her career.
Lisa returned to elite sport after swimming coaching and competing with her outrigger team, the Riggeroos, to win four World Championships in the 72km Outrigger Canoe race in Hawaii becoming the first Australian team to do so in the history of the race.
She also was the first Australian ever to win the Hawaiin Molokai to Oahu 66km solo outrigger race.
Outside of the pool, Lisa made history as the first woman appointed as Chair of the National Australia Day Council, a position she held from 2000 to 2008. As a wellness entrepreneur, Lisa co-founded the natural health platform Happy Healthy You, authoring six best-selling books focused on nutrition, mindset, and hormonal balance.
Her enduring appeal as a media personality includes a 23-year tenure as the face of Uncle Tobys, marking one of the longest corporate brand ambassadorships in Australian history. In her personal life, she has publicly shared her deep journey with resilience, navigating the devastating loss of her eldest daughter, Jaimi, and navigating her own serious heart health battles. Through it all, she continues to travel the country as a motivational keynote speaker, inspiring communities to embrace life with purpose and vitality.
