Julian Burton

Julian Burton OAM, like everyone, is the sum of his experiences to date.

His experiences are many and varied and include a career in a professional sport, a trained educator, a survivor of terrorism and founder of the Australia's first social enterprise committed to the prevention, care and research associated with burn injury - the Julian Burton Burns Trust.

Julian is an individual who speaks from the heart and soul. A speaker that is able to engage and connect with audiences at a very deep level and his strong sense of destiny means he has a profound effect on his audiences.

Julian believes we live by choice, not by chance. He explores and provides strategies and tools so that everyone can choose to make life an opportunity not a struggle, to choose to feel powerful not powerless or to be a life victim or life master.

In 2008 Julian was recognised as one of the top five social entrepreneurs in Australia and was also awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in 2006 for his contribution to the community through his work with the Julian Burton Burns Trust.
