The wisdom and powerful experiences of past winners of Western Australian of the Year were shared with the 2025 cohort during this intimate breakfast at Fraser’s Restaurant.

Professor Andrew Whitehouse, Iain Grandage, Madison Heady and Nicolette Beard took part in a panel discussion where they revealed how being a finalist or winner has changed their lives, encouraging the 2025 finalists in the room to enjoy every moment.

Chairman of Celebrate WA Scott Jones also presented to the 60-person crowd ahead of the tasty breakfast overlooking a picturesque Kings Park. The winners will be announced at an awards night at Crown Perth on Thursday.
