Meet Our Keynote Speakers

Dr Daniel Nour – Cardiologist, Founder of Street Side Medics & NSW Young Australian of the Year 2022

Get ready to be inspired and moved by an extraordinary visionary who has redefined compassion and commitment in healthcare. 

In a world where inequities and disparities persist, Dr Nour recognised a critical gap in healthcare access for our society’s most vulnerable individuals. This realisation fuelled the establishment of Street Side Medics – a pioneering, not-for-profit initiative that brings medical care directly to those experiencing homelessness.

Dr Nour’s leadership, coupled with his profound social consciousness, has not only impacted individual lives but has also left an indelible mark on the fabric of greater society.

Michelle LeeThe first Australian woman to row any ocean solo

Prepare to be awestruck by the remarkable Michelle Lee, the first Australian woman to row any ocean solo.

In April 2023, she achieved an incredible feat by becoming the first woman in the world to row the Pacific Ocean solo, enduring the challenges of five hurricanes, 240 days of solitary determination, and an astonishing distance of 14,000 km. Her unwavering spirit led her to conquer the Atlantic Ocean solo in 2018, where she spent 68 days navigating the waves, earning her the prestigious title of the 2019 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year.

In her captivating keynote, Michelle will take us on a transformative journey, shining a light on the values that have fuelled her unparalleled success. Her remarkable story will ignite our passion to become empowered contributors to the meaningful and equitable changes we aspire to make in the healthcare sector. Michelle’s determination knows no bounds as she constantly pushes her own limits, setting new challenges that inspire us all. Her powerful motto, “Start thinking you can and you will,” will echo in our hearts long after the event.
