At just 22 years old, Han became the CEO of Country to Canberra, a not-for-profit empowering young rural women and non-binary people to reach their leadership potential. Traveling to Australia’s furthest corners in this role, while juggling work as a rural primary school teacher, compounded the values learnt growing up on the family farm north of Nullamanna NSW, population 40. Han’s work today is on the ground in rural NSW, supporting rural student inclusion strategies for the university system.

Han has been proudly sharing their combined passions of rural access, gender equity, and LGBTIQA+ inclusion for almost a decade, and was invited to deliver a TEDx Talk in 2022 on growing up non-binary in country Australia. They sit on the board of agricultural charity Women Together Learning, and run the Alumni Board Development Program for The Pinnacle Foundation, Australia’s LGBTIQA+ education charity. They have been recognised for their work as ABC Canberra’s Community Champion Under 40 and in Out For Australia’s 30 under 30 Awards.

Han is a truly wonderful speaker, and great friend to Women & Leadership Australia. They have spoken on several panel discussions at our events, including our Women’s Leadership Symposium, and have contributed greatly to these important discussions surrounding leadership, DEI, and gender equity. Han is incredibly knowledgeable in the DEI space and brings so much to our events- authenticity and vulnerability, a passion to educate others, and a willingness to use their personal lived experiences as an opportunity to teach our audiences. Han is a truly remarkable leader, and we are looking forward to working with them on more events in the future. Women in Leadership Australia - Melissa Rutherford

Han Worsley was our final/keynote speaker at TEDxYouth@Canberra in 2022 – not only because they are known as an inspiring thought leader. Han is a high calibre, charismatic speaker who speaks to local, personal contexts with deep empathy and compassion, while representing global movements without the meaning getting lost in complexity. Han has a great respect for the audience’s place in time, a whip-smart, creative intelligence that paints moving stories. A humility hard-won, an important message, that quietly challenges an audience to reflect and look inward, so they will reach out. That’s impactful. It takes gravitas to hold a large public stage like that and shift people towards a better place, perhaps one they hadn’t considered or couldn’t find. Han’s TEDx Talk is an honest, stirring portrayal of where we could be, an elegant vision of a better freer world. TEDx Canberra - Bradley Roche, Speaker Coach
