Today, we had the incredible opportunity to spend R U OK Day with our partner Aurizon and weightlifting legend and Olympian Kiana Elliott right in the Adelaide depot. R U OK? Day is all about fostering genuine conversations that can make a difference. Kiana’s story of strength, both physically and mentally, served as an inspiring reminder of the importance of checking in on each other, offering support, and staying connected – especially in the workplace. A big thank you to Aurizon for their commitment to mental well-being, and to Kiana for sharing her journey of resilience with the team. We are so proud of your achievements and know the best is yet to come. Together, we’re creating spaces where asking “Are you OK?” can truly change lives. Let’s keep the conversation going – not just today, but every day. 🧡 💛 #RUOKDay #MentalHealthMatters #Aurizon #Teamwork #Wellbeing #performance #athlete #asx100 #esg #impact #storytelling #investment Rachel Condos-Fields Mark Maguire #rail #freight #partnerships #connect #train

About us
We help Australian current and future champions compete on the International Stage through strategic partnerships with organisations that want to elevate their social responsibility impact. Australia is a sports obsessed Nation yet close to 50% of our elite athletes are living below the poverty line. The WattleNest aspires to change this unacceptable statistic and transform the way athletes are supported now and forever. It is time to invest in our elite athletes, celebrate our sporting talent and provide pathways to share stories. Our elite athletes train on average 36 hours a week to chase their dreams overcoming barriers of pain, injury, financial stress and inadequate support. They provide tremendous benefits to society including the ability to build stronger, better, healthier communities. The WattleNest provides financial support to elite athletes through corporate partnership opportunities and TV content distribution. Our “For the Glory” TV production series will bring one athlete story to life every week to a subscription base of 5.3 million Australians. Each series is guaranteed to generate a minimum of 100,000 views giving our partners access to high impact, low cost brand exposure whilst empowering athletes and benefiting society. https://m.youtube.com/@thewattlenest/videos You can make a donation here https://asf.org.au/projects/wattlenest

LSKD (Loose Kid) born in Queensland in 2007 certainly lives up to their mission to inspire through sports, fitness and adventure. Bree Masters OLY took us behind the scenes today to see first hand the growth, opportunity and passion. I have certainly returned to the desk determined to be 1% better every day and I have just purchased a pair of leggings that aren't black! Thanks for the inspiration Bree. Congratulations Jason Daniel for creating such an iconic and successful Australian brand loved by active people globally! Ps - couldn't resist the 1% better training T modelled by The WattleNest's incredible Txai Anglin. #retail #fitness #queensland #business #athlete #connection #1% #better #behindthescenes #production #warehouse #training #fashion #activewear #global

It was an honour to share the stage with incredible small business leaders and judging by this photo a lot of fun too! Small Business in Australia is the heartbeat of the economy making up 98% of all businesses and employing nearly half of the private sector workforce (so I am told). The road to success is bloody tough - over 60% of small businesses fail within the first three years. The challenges are real; from managing cash flow and navigating regulation; to standing out in competitive markets.... For those that have overcome these hardships we celebrate you - I have learnt resilience, self-belief, innovation, purposeful relationships and community support are absolutely key ingredients to turning challenges into opportunities! I have certainly developed a whole new appreciation to all business founders who have done the hard yards - your grit, determination and unwavering commitment is certainly not lost on me! Small Business Owners - here's to your journey, your hustle and the difference you are making every single day! Congratulations to each of you and thank you for letting me be part of your story.

A huge thankyou to everyone behind the scenes for bringing together Australia’s Top 50 Small Business Leaders in Melbourne last night. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to celebrate The WattleNest and share my journey from Executive to Entrepreneur. IF WATTLENEST WAS A COUNTRY WE WOULD HAVE PLACED 25TH AT THE 2024 PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES! Now it’s time for our Paralympic athletes to shine. Absolutely thrilled to share the room with Fiona Holmstrom and see Nikhil Daftary featured in the publication Commonwealth Bank News Corp Australia Inside Small Business #smallbusiness #top50 #awards #business #entrepreneur #startup #connect #panel #keynote #growth #journey #startup #transition #ceo #founder #leadership #impact
