Shayna JackOAM · OLY
One of Australia’s greatest comebacks. One of its most in-demand voices.
Shayna Jack fought through three court cases to clear her name. It cost her an Olympic Games. She came back to win Olympic gold, multiple world records and eight Commonwealth Games medals — and retired in 2026 as one of the most recognised and most bankable names in Australian sport.
One of Australia’s most in-demand keynote speakers.
Recognition that reaches well past sport — Olympic gold puts her in front of a sporting audience. Three documentaries, two Australian Story features, SAS Australia and I’m a Celebrity put her in front of everyone else. Very few Australian athletes carry both.
A story people are invested in — Her audience didn’t just follow results — they followed a six-year fight, in public, and they wanted her to win it. That is a different quality of attention to reach, and it is why she converts where a larger following might not.
Partnerships that sell — Shayna does long-term work, not one-off posts. Her LSKD partnership has run since 2021 and produced a signature collection in 2026 — 91% of the range sold out within the first month.
More than a social media campaign — Both named partners on this page describe the same thing: she wears the brand unprompted in interviews and appearances, speaks at their events, turns up for their customers. She is looking for partners who want that — an ambassador who works the relationship, not one who posts and invoices.
She chooses on genuine connection — Mental health and animal welfare are the causes she is committed to. That is not a soft note on a profile — it is a filter. A partner aligned to those areas gets an ambassador who means it, and means it publicly.
And now, full availability — For the first time in a decade there is no training block, no taper, no selection calendar. For campaign shoots, event dates and media commitments, that is the practical difference — and it starts now.

About Shayna
Shayna Jack is one of Australia’s most decorated swimmers — and one of very few athletes in this country known for something far bigger than their sport.
In 2019 she was suspended following an out-of-competition test. Accepting it would have ended her career, so she never considered it. She fought from the first minute to clear her name — through three separate court cases, to prove she had never intentionally taken a banned substance. The Court of Arbitration for Sport found in her favour. That finding was appealed to the international courts, where the case was ultimately dismissed.
It cost her the Tokyo Olympics. It cost her her life savings. She came back anyway.
What followed was the strongest period of her career: Olympic gold, multiple world records, world championship titles, and Commonwealth Games medals across three Games. In 2025 she was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia. She retired in July 2026 on her own terms — announcing it herself, on camera, before her final Games rather than after, because she wanted to say goodbye in the moment.
Australia followed all of it. Her story has been told in three documentaries, including two Australian Story features, and she has reached audiences well beyond sport through SAS Australia and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
What’s next — Shayna has just started this chapter and is deliberate about it. More speaking, in front of more audiences. Work with the causes she cares about — mental health, and animal welfare. Media and presenting. And partnerships with brands she has a real connection to, who want an ambassador who does more than post.

What Organisers and Partners Say
“We asked Shayna Jack to be a part of our panel — Forged Under Pressure — and her professionalism during the event along with her engagement on the panel was outstanding. She spoke so articulately and her contribution to the various topics discussed, including courage and resilience, were meaningful and authentic. Shayna left a lasting impression on the audience, and we would absolutely consider having her at any future events.”
HANNAH COOK — MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, GALLIPOLI MEDICAL RESEARCH“It is rare that a room of over 200 guests are silent for more than 30 continuous minutes, but from the moment Shayna started sharing her story, you could hear a pin drop! No one moved for the entirety of Shayna’s keynote address.”
AUSTRALASIAN INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED LOSS ADJUSTERS (AICLA)“Shayna has consistently exceeded all contractual obligations. She is one of the most conscious ambassadors when it comes to wearing the brand whenever possible, never failing to find a place for LSKD during an interview, shoot or news appearance.”
MIKE DOYLE — HEAD OF MARKETING, LSKD“Shayna has been an incredible ambassador and has been a reliable and true partner to our brand over these years. Always available, she goes above and beyond — from promoting on her socials, speaking at events, to attending customer 4WD camping experiences.”
DARREN JOHNSON — DEALER PRINCIPAL, MOTORAMA JEEP SPRINGWOODHer Story Is a Human Story, Not a Sports Story
That is the whole reason she works in a room. What Shayna is describing — being publicly accused, losing years of her life to it, fighting to be believed, and rebuilding when it would have been easier not to — is not an athletic experience. It is a human one. Audiences don’t watch her from a distance. They recognise something of themselves. It is why she holds rooms that have no interest in swimming — booked across corporate, insurance, medical research and sporting audiences.
