About this act
Anne Sargeant is a speaker from Western Australia.
A decade in the Australian netball team, six of them as captain, sits at the centre of this speaker's sporting record, which runs from 1978 to 1988 and includes an undefeated tour of Wales in 1985. Anne Sargeant OAM was named New South Wales Sportswoman of the Year that same year, inducted into the NSW Hall of Champions in 1988, and elevated to Legend status in the Netball Australia Hall of Fame in December 2019. Media work followed the playing and coaching years: television, radio commentary and a newspaper and magazine column, alongside roles with the Australian Sports Commission and the NSW Australia Day Council, and a board position with McDonald's. A Communicator of the Year Award from the Public Relations Institute of Australia backs up the public-speaking side of the work, built now around after-dinner and motivational talks drawn from that sporting and media career.
