Rachael Robertson's 2023 biography

Rachael Robertson’s background

Drawing on incredible experiences, often with great humour, Rachael Robertson makes the perfect motivational and leadership speaker for both keynote spots at conferences and after dinner speeches.

Rachael spent fifteen years as a team leader in various industries before taking the opportunity to become the youngest and only the second woman to lead the 58th annual expedition to Antarctica. The role was not easy: Rachael was on duty as the leader every day of the year, working in grueling conditions that many of us can only imagine. She brings this experience to life in her speeches, giving us practical, down-to-earth tips on how to deal with every-day situations in a leadership role.

Rachael has spoken before a wide variety of industries from pharmaceutical to finance, mining and construction to hospitality and health.

Davis Station, Antarctica

Davis Station is the most southerly Australian Antarctic station and is home to 120 expeditioners over summer and 18 over winter. The station is used for a number of scientific projects, including seal studies, penguin studies, the biology of the lakes and water in the area and geological surveys. The expeditioners also go on field trips and survival training. As an expedition leader, Rachael directed the core of 18, keeping them safe and able to do their work in the harshest and most hostile environment on earth. She was also required to manage the summer visitors and ensure the safe delivery of research programmes as well as keep the facilities working.
