Dimity Dornan AO is a Speech Pathologist, Author, Businesswoman and the 2003 Australian of the Year for Queensland.

We loved hearing from Dimity about her experience as the first speech pathology graduate at the University of Queensland and the first speech pathologist to work at the Royal Brisbane Hospital.

What an incredible journey Dimity has had through 30 years of service as the founder of the Hear and Say Centre for Deaf Children. Her legacy: enabling thousands of deaf children to hear and speak. We learnt about Dimity's next chapter, founding Bionics Queensland (BioniQ) which was established to promote the development of the human bionic industry in Queensland and the Human Bionics Interface.

Importantly, Dimity shares her love of polishing off the last drop of champagne along with so many pearls of wisdom as she has balanced her incredible career alongside being a partner, Mum and now Grandmother.
