NATALIE MEDHURST Talent Profile © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com A three-time World Champion and Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Natalie has tasted success over a long and decorated netball career both domestically and internationally. NATIONALITY CAPABILITIES Australian Guest Panellist Clinics DATE OF BIRTH Ambassador 1/20/84 Social Media PR Campaign TEAMS Appearances Adelaide Thunderbirds INTERESTS Queensland Firebirds West Coast Fever Health & Nutrition Collingwood Magpies Lifestyle Australian Diamonds Beauty & Fashion Wellbeing Family Environment © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com BIO One of Australia’s most enduring and decorated netballers, Nat Medhurst holds the distinction of being the third most-capped national league player, taking to the court 235 times across a professional career that spanned 16 years. Scoring an incredible 4,415 goals across the Commonwealth Bank Trophy, ANZ Championship and Suncorp Super Netball competitions, Nat announced her retirement at the end of the 2020 SSNL season. Beginning her professional career in her home state of South Australia with the Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2004, Nat moved to the Queensland Firebirds in 2010, then onto the West Coast Fever in 2014 before finishing her career with the Collingwood Magpies in 2020. Highlights of Nat’s domestic netball career include being named the Thunderbirds Club Champion in 2006 and twice winning the Tanya Denver Medal and the Adelaide Advertiser Player of the Year (2006 and 2007) while in South Australia. In moving to the Queensland Firebirds, Nat won an ANZ Championship premiership and was named the league’s Most Valuable Player and Queensland Sportswoman of the Year in 2011. She also won the Firebirds’ MVP in 2012, went on to be Vice-Captain of the club in 2012 and became the first Australian to play 100 ANZ Championship matches. She then captained the Fever in her first year at the club in 2014, was named the club’s MVP in 2015 and 2016, captained Fever during the first year in Suncorp Super Netball in 2017, before playing in the franchise’s first Grand Final appearance in 2018. Nat then moved to Collingwood in 2019 where she played out her final season, helping the club to a finals appearance. At an international level, Nat represented Australia 86 occasions and went onto win three Netball World Cup gold medals, one Commonwealth Games gold medal, one Commonwealth Games silver medal and six Constellation Cup titles. © TLA Worldwide 2020 TLAWorldwide.com Off the court, Nat was involved with the Australian Netball Players’ Association since 2006, taking on the role of President in 2019 and 2020 and was committed to improving conditions for Australian netballers. Whilst Nat’s on court accolades speak for themselves, one of Nat’s most proudest moments was becoming a mum for the first time in 2020 to her son Edison. As Nat enters retired life she will now turn her focus towards a career in sports administration and media, and is currently in the role as community engagement manager with Commonwealth Games Australia.

    Submission 004 ‘INQUIRY INTO THE CONTRIBUTION OF SPORT TO INDIGENOUS WELLBEING AND MENTORING’ A SUBMISSION ON BEHALF OF THE DAVID WIRRPANDA FOUNDATION Submitted by Lisa Cunningham (CEO) Catherine Gurney (Grants Manager) Kodie Blay (Operations Manager) David Wirrpanda Foundation PO Box 508 Subiaco WA 6904 (08) 9242 6700 1 1 Submission 004 A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR “After years of doing community work, the David Wirrpanda Foundation is a formal way of recognizing the influence sport has on the lives of our children. The Foundation is a dream come true for me. I made my debut with the West Coast Eagles in Round 5 of the 1996 AFL Season, at the age of 16 years, and played in the 2006 premiership team. My first passion isn’t sport however, its community work in helping to improve the lives of young Indigenous Australians. But using sport as a magnet to attract our young Aboriginal people into positive activities to improve their education and wellbeing is an amazing tool that must be utilised. I hope you find this submission of assistance, and agree that sport has a a vastly significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people”. 2012 NAIDOC Person of the Year David Wirrpanda SUBMISSION SUMMARY - The David Wirrpanda Foundation was born from an idea our Director, David Wirrpanda, had to increase the retention and attendance of Aboriginal children in education. David, a former AFL premiership player, knew first hand how passionate his people were about sport, and how this can be used to attract Aboriginal people to positive programs.

    Focus on Falcons

    Quote for the week. “You don't always get what you wish for; you get what you work for”. Let’s go Fever, Let’s go! West Coast Fever hopes all supporters will help break the record for a crowd at an ANZ Championship netball game when West Coast Fever meets the Melbourne Vixens at the state of the art Perth Arena this Saturday, April 27. They want to hear a loud and proud Fever crowd at the Arena as they try to break the current record of 8,478 fans at an ANZ Championship game. That record was set back in Round 12, 2010 at Hisense Arena when the Vixens took on the Adelaide Thunderbirds. They want to gather the biggest netball crowd in Perth since 2011 when the Australian Diamonds played an international fixture against arch-rivals New Zealand at Burswood Dome in 2011. That crowd was 6768 and they believe they can better that this Saturday. (Courtesy of the Netball WA website) On Tuesday 23rd all of the Falcons teams played at The Arena Joondalup Scores for the Games were; WC Falcons 18U 18 vs. Coastal Sharks 46 WC Falcons Reserves 54 vs. Coastal Sharks 40 WC Falcons League 50 vs. Coastal Sharks 71 Come along and support the West Coast Falcon League Team as they play at the Arena Joondalup against the Lions on Tuesday 30th April at 7.20pm (Reserves and 18U have a bye).
