Keynote Speakers


Duncan Armstrong OAM

Duncan Armstrong OAM

Olympic Gold Medalist and Media Personality

Join us as we welcome one of our Olympic legends, Gold Medallist Duncan Armstrong.

Duncan became a household name when he claimed one of only three Olympic Gold medals Australia won at the Seoul Games in 1988, alongside hurdler Debbie Flintoff-King and the Australian Hockeyroos.

Duncan broke the 200 freestyle World Record to win Australia's 100th medal in Olympic competition. Coached and mentored by the charismatic and unstoppable Laurie Lawrence, Duncan's career in the pool spanned 10 years in the Green and Gold.

Since retiring from competitive swimming, Duncan has received a host of national honours out of the pool including an Order of Australia Medal and the Young Australian of the Year.

Nowadays Duncan divides his time between raising his five kids with his wife Rebecca, an executive coaching and motivation consultancy, and numerous charitable commitments across the country.

A truly inspirational Australian, with a truly inspirational story.
