Gail Austen has created an environment where business is a lifestyle, the bottom line is the thing you are standing on, vital assets are people, and shares are what are distributed amongst those not so fortunate.

Gail has been globalised since birth, communicates over and through any obstacle, is hell bent on being around for the new world order and intends to be in the line up.

In the boardroom or out on the waves, Gail is a force to be reckoned with. The Workplace Health and Safety Council, Qld Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Brisbane River Reference Group are just a few of the forums to which Gail has contributed her expertise and experience.

The walls of Gail’s Goodtime Store at Woolloongabba display the many notable honours awarded to her; reminders of great moments on the sporting dais, recognition of a life given to service to others.

Her belief that we only enrich our lives through enriching the lives of others is the essence of her drive and energy. Working for our disadvantaged and disabled is her most personally cherished and rewarding contribution.

"The standing ovation was certainly well deserved and I hope you appreciate just how many people you have touched with your warm and friendly words."
Vicki Bergin, Telstra Regional Program Manager Vic/Tas

"Your speech was entertaining, funny, inspirational and from the heart... You inspired and uplifted everyone in that room - Thank you."

"Someone once said to me that if you can positively affect just one person in your life, that is a great achievement. Well I’m not sure if I have yet but I’m sure you have ten fold."
Ruth Bennett, Adelaide

"I wanted to express to you how motivating I thought you were when you addressed the Sydney Business Women’s Awards luncheon. It has inspired me to start re-stocking my skills to apply again in the future."
Alexis Cahalan, Sydney
