Kendall Whyte
National Keynote Speaker
Kendall Whyte is the founder and CEO of Blue Tree Project, a grass-roots movement which has turned into a charity, making an impact across Australia and other parts of the world.
From Mukinbudin in the Central Wheatbelt of Western Australia, her journey started after the heartbreaking loss of her brother to suicide in 2018. Since then, she has channeled her energy into creating vital conversations around mental health, particularly in regional and rural communities where such discussions are often neglected.
Her work has not only helped break down the stigma surrounding mental health but also inspired change on a national scale. She’s been recognised with numerous accolades, including being named the 2022 Young Australian of the Year for Western Australia.
