Nathan is an ambassador for Pingpongathon, Autism SA, CARA and Craniofacial Australia, and in 2008 was a finalist for the Pride of Australia Medal as a result of his work with youth. In 2009 he was nominated for the Young South Australian of the Year, and in 2011 was the Australian delegate to the Duke of Edinburgh International Gold Experience.
