After taking the sporting world by storm, Gold medal winning netballer Bianca Chatfield’s journey from professional athlete to leading media personality and business owner is indicative of her vivacious nature, dedication and professionalism across all fields.
Following her debut as an 18-year-old for the Australian Diamonds netball team, Bianca quickly established a name for herself as one of the toughest defenders in the sport. During her time on the netball court, Bianca endured some tough times but also enjoyed great success; winning both gold and silver medals at the Commonwealth Games, a World Championship Gold alongside six premierships with Melbourne Phoenix/Vixens. Since her retirement from the sport in 2015, Bianca has continued to focus on her passions – Educating and empowering leadership skills within individuals and teams, promoting women’s sport, and using her positive voice for good across various media channels.
Bianca hosts Women’s Footy (ch.9), commentates Super Netball (ch.9), a regular panellist on Offsiders (ABC), presenter for House Of Wellness (Ch. 7) and across multiple podcasts and digital shows.
Bianca’s passion and advocacy for empowering women and girls led her to write her first book, Game On which expanded into the online mentor program, The Ignition Project. This personal project seeks to empower women to identify their passion, understand self-leadership and enable them to get the best out of themselves – across all aspects of life.
