Brad Ness OAM

Paralympic Gold Medallist, and workplace safety advocate

Brad Ness OAM OLY has lived more than one lifetime, and each of them has been fearless.

A workplace accident at 18 changed everything, but instead of detouring him, it redirected him.

As captain of the Australian Men’s Wheelchair Basketball team for over a decade, and now its Head Coach, Brad has travelled the world chasing gold and purpose.

A seven-time Paralympian, Order of Australia medalist, and sporting hall-of-famer, he turns adversity into fuel.

Today, he uses his story to coach, mentor and inspire, on the court and beyond it.

Brad knows what excellence demands, and how to lead others to it with grit and heart.

I thought Brad’s presentation was very inspirational. I also loved the way he relayed parts of his discussion back to our business environment and really enjoyed his vibe and story build up. I would love to have him speak at another function possibly for our sales program awards in New Zealand in November.
