A much-respected voice in Australian sports media, Liz has forged a career as a thoughtful advocate for women’s sport and a thought-provoking commentator on the wider sporting and social landscape. Proving her versatility, Liz is equally at home coaching her daughter’s junior netball team and working on her family farm, as she is in front of a television camera, behind a microphone or sitting on a company board.

In her playing prime, she was one of Australia’s highest-profile elite athletes and ranks as one of Australia’s most successful netballers. She played an incredible 15 continuous seasons with the Australian Netball Team, the last four as captain. Liz led the team to a World Cup victory in 2007, the tournament which marked her retirement. Other highlights include three World Championship gold medals, two Commonwealth Games gold medals and four national premierships with the Sydney Swifts, the team she led for eight years. Liz was named Australia’s Most Valuable Player on four occasions to cap all this.

In 2018 Liz was elevated to an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for distinguished service to netball as an elite player and coach, through support and advocacy for young women, as a contributor to the broadcast and print media industries, and to the community.

In 2023 Liz added “Queen of the Jungle” to her CV after being a popular winner of Channel 10’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. Voted on by the Australian public, this accolade cemented Liz as one of Australia’s most loved personalities.

In 2024 she was elected the Chair of the Netball Australia Board.
