Rugby league icon Ali Brigginshaw will open Day 1 of the State Conference.
A long-standing captain of the Brisbane Broncos, Queensland Maroons, and Australian Jillaroos, Ali is recognised as one of the greatest female rugby league players of all time. Her journey — from overcoming structural barriers to winning three World Cups, four NRLW Premierships, and the Dally M Medal — is a powerful story of resilience, leadership, and high performance.
Ali will deliver the keynote and join follow-up sessions on Thursday 13 August at Kedron-Wavell Services Club. This is a moment you won’t want to miss.
