Gail Austen OAM

Gail Austen has created an environment where business is a lifestyle, the bottom line is the thing you are standing on, vital assets are people, and shares are what are distributed amongst those not so fortunate.

Gail has been globalised since birth, communicates over and through any obstacle, is hell bent on being around for the new world order and intends to be in the line up.

In the boardroom or out on the waves, Gail is a force to be reckoned with. The Workplace Health and Safety Council, Qld Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Brisbane River Reference Group are just a few of the forums to which Gail has contributed her expertise and experience.

The walls of Gail’s Goodtime Store at Woolloongabba display the many notable honours awarded to her; reminders of great moments on the sporting dais, recognition of a life given to service to others.

Her belief that we only enrich our lives through enriching the lives of others is the essence of her drive and energy. Working for our disadvantaged and disabled is her most personally cherished and rewarding contribution.
