The 2025 VET National Teaching & Learning Conference is now only 2 weeks away and with only a handful of tickets remaining, don’t miss out, Register today.

Let’s introduce Mike Rolls, Keynote Speaker | Author | Facilitator. Mike will be joining us on Day 1 of the conference with his presentation, ‘Uncovering Why Less, Really is More’.

Mike Rolls is a leading authority in resilience. His extensive lived experience through adversity began at age 18 when he survived a deadly bout of Meningococcal Septicemia, which resulted in severe internal and external injuries, including multiple amputations. Given just a 5% chance of survival, Mike defied the odds, spending six months in the hospital and facing years of recovery. This life-changing event marked the start of an unexpected journey toward helping individuals and businesses manage their own challenges with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

His message, “Why Me? To What’s Next?” is a simple yet effective philosophy that underpins his work.

This no-nonsense, practical approach is designed to help individuals tap into and unlock greater levels of resilience in both their personal and professional lives.

Mike has a background in the health industry. He is a qualified Counsellor, a highly skilled communicator and a passionate supporter of amputee charity, Limbs 4 Life. He is an ambassador of Interplast Australia and New Zealand, Cobra Puma Golf, Ossur Australia, and has represented Australia in All Abilities Golf.
