We are honoured to welcome Jelena Dokic as the keynote speaker for the 2025 One Day at a Time Gala.

Jelena’s story is one of extraordinary resilience, determination, and triumph, making her an inspiration to all.

From rising to World No. 4 in professional tennis to becoming a bestselling author, Jelena’s journey is a testament to strength in the face of adversity. At just 17 years old, she reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon, and by 18, she was a Grand Slam finalist, captivating the world with her skill and tenacity.

However, behind the spotlight, Jelena faced unimaginable challenges, enduring 15 years of abuse from her father, which took a significant toll on her mental health. At 22, she reached a breaking point but chose to fight back, turning her struggles into a story of survival and hope.

Through her bestselling books, ‘Unbreakable’ and ‘Fearless,’ and her number one documentary, Jelena shares her inspiring journey from victim to survivor and now a thriving advocate for resilience and mental well-being.

Today, as a TEDx speaker, commentator, and advocate, she continues to empower others by breaking the silence around domestic abuse and mental health.

At the gala, Jelena will deliver a powerful 45-minute keynote speech, sharing her insights and experiences, followed by an exclusive book signing opportunity for guests.

Don’t miss the chance to hear first-hand from this remarkable woman who embodies the strength and courage to rise above life’s challenges.
