The Kindness Factory

An Australian of the Year nominee's story you should read.

I loved hearing the stories from the 2025 Australian of the Year Ceremony over the weekend.

You can read about the incredible winners here. All community minded people who are helping make the lives of other aussies better.

While none of the winners are more deserving than any of the others, I was really taken by the NSW Australian of the Year finalist Kath Koschel.

Kath is a former elite cricketer whose life spiralled into despair and darkness without warning.

She fought through the horrible ordeal however, and emerged with a renewed passion for life and a complete understanding of just how powerful kindness can be.
