The annual David Parkin Oration for Sport and Social Change honours the significant contribution of Dr David Parkin OAM to Australian society in leadership, sport and education. It promotes the advancement of public knowledge by exploring the challenges and opportunities for sport to act as a driver of social change.
This year’s oration, Inspiring a Nation, will be delivered by Michelle Payne OAM in conversation with renowned sports broadcaster Jason Richardson.
Michelle Payne’s historic win in the 2015 Melbourne Cup on Prince of Penzance made ‘the race that stops a nation’ an event that inspired all. The story behind this remarkable woman continues to inspire with the release of the Ride Like A Girl biopic. Her grace in the face of untold tragedy and triumph is now a beacon for many.
Jason Richardson’s involvement in sport spans over 20 years, firstly as an elite runner and then as a broadcaster on radio and TV, including with the Seven Network and Racing.Com.
Tickets are free, and you can attend in person or watch via livestream.
