Nicole Hayes is a passionate advocate for the Australian pastoral industry and a nationally respected community leader who exemplifies resilience, generosity and humility.
When beef industry policy is discussed at a national level, Nicole ensures Central Australian pastoralists have their say. Nicole contributes expertise in encouraging leadership and fostering understanding of the importance of food production.
She also plays a pivotal role in advocating and fundraising for community health, including prostate cancer research and support for families impacted by organ donation.
Her influence even reached Bondi Beach, where Nicole helped organise the transport of cattle from her Undoolya station to Sydney for a symbolic mock droving event. This was in aid of the Herd of Hope Charity, which promotes organ donation awareness and supports regional Australian families affected by organ donation.
Nicole’s work ethic and ability to bridge geographic and cultural divides is a testament to her vision and character.
