Kevin Heath
Kevin Heath, affectionately known as Kev to those closest to him, hails from K’Gari (Fraser Island, Queensland), the ancestral lands of the Butchulla people. While he now calls Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs home, his roots deeply inform his impactful work. As an Aboriginal Health Worker within his Local Health District, Kevin is a driving force behind holistic health programs in schools and community organisations demonstrating his unwavering commitment to community well-being.
This dedication extends to his role as co-owner of Dream Time Academy, a sport-specific training academy he established with his wife. More than just an athletic endeavour, Dream Time Academy is a platform for nurturing the holistic development of athletes, employing off-field strategies like goal setting alongside on-field training to elevate their potential both as competitors and individuals.
Kevin is also a proud and influential Community Ambassador for R U OK?, a national suicide prevention charity. His passion for spreading their vital message has seen him travel across the country, raising awareness and encouraging proactive support for mental health.
Balancing his demanding professional life with a deep commitment to his heritage, Kevin actively seeks to expand his knowledge of Aboriginal cultural lore. Through his consultancy work, he shares the richness and history of the world's oldest living culture, fostering understanding and contributing to a more unified society. His engaging presence also makes him a sought-after Master of Ceremonies for various events.
Above all, Kevin's greatest joy comes from his role as a father to his daughters, Kobi (3) and Kaia (1), his "little Boori's" who are the guiding light in his life. Kevin Heath is a man deeply connected to his community, his culture, and his family, making a significant and positive impact in every sphere he touches.
