“You don't have to be the most outgoing, loud, confident person to create change in the world”. This is a statement that cofounder of PROJECT ROCKIT, Rosie Thomas, stands by after witnessing acts of bullying during school. Since then, Rosie and her sister Lucy have been making a stance against bullying by delivering evidence-based programs about the negative impact persecution can have on young people. As a result of their national programs, they’ve helped thousands of young students create a kinder world.

International Youth Day was celebrated on Saturday 12 August with this year’s theme being ‘Towards a sustainable future’.

While we were eager to hear their thoughts about the future, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to ask them what remarkable means in their life.

After losing a close friend to suicide, TradeMutt cofounders Dan Allen and Ed Ross were driven to reduce the rate of blue-collar suicides in Australia through their bright and vibrant workwear. While pivoting from tradespeople to workwear apparel was a learning curve for them, the challenge hasn’t stopped the duo from continuing to do remarkable work. Since starting TradeMutt, they’ve gone on to cofound TIACS (This is a Conversation Starter) which is run using 50 per cent of the profits from TradeMutt workwear sales, offering a text and call service where tradies can access mental health counselling for free.

With the Antarctic Treaty expiring in just over 20 years and current global conflict, a question mark remains over the future of this remarkable place. In this episode, we explore projects led by the Foundation, the independent research currently being conducted, and how businesses can do more to ensure the future growth and protection of Antarctica.
Designed to celebrate place, Chrysalis Projects employs the creative workforce, energises local businesses, and reconnects the community – one project at a time. In this episode, they share stories about how their work has impacted the local community, their passion for the creative sector, and a new perspective on making art in the public realm.
Dr Retamal shares her insights into how we can avoid, reduce, reuse and recycle and advocates for a future where consumers, industry and government all work together to create a greener and healthier planet for all of us.
In our second episode of The Remarkables podcast, we meet exercise physiologists and co-founders of Be Physiology, Aj Morris, Harry White and Brittney Kenward. In this episode, the trio share stories about people they work with, what drives them to do what they do and how we can better educate ourselves about disability.
In our first episode, we meet Drs Gareth Andrews and Richard Stephenson from The Last Great First, who in October will attempt to become the first polar explorers to complete a fully unsupported ski crossing of Antarctica. Their expedition will push boundaries of what’s humanly possible and is an opportunity to collect critical data for climate scientists and inspire younger generations. They talk about their journey to get to this point, how they will prepare, and what a day in the life of a polar explorer looks like.
