Kath Ebbs (she/they) is a queer actor, presenter, writer and content creator. With over 100,000 followers on Instagram, their work focuses on visibility and advocacy with storytelling at its heart. Arguably one of the original Instagram influencers, Kath grew their online following through meme culture as part of one of the first content collectives and has continued to foster that community whilst harnessing the power of new-age advertising. They have partnered with brands such as Nike, Bonds, The Iconic and SBS to name a few. Kath is also the co-creator and star of their own TikTok web series titled Self Care, which follows the fictional character of Grace on their journey of self-discovery after dealing with a sudden breakup.
In 2022 Kath graced our TV screens as Asher on Neighbours, the first non-binary character ever to appear on an Aussie soap. When speaking to Variety, they said: “If just one child that is struggling with their gender identity sees Asher on screen and feels as though their feelings are valid and okay and accepted – and not only accepted but celebrated – or a parent seeing Asher becomes more accepting of their child or kids at school, that would be a huge achievement and success point for me.”
In addition to appearing as a panellist on ABC’s The Drum, they are also the producer and host of their own talk show titled Conversations with Kath, where they sit down to have hard, soft and sometimes silly conversations with diverse guests on a variety of topics.
They continue to push for change in these spaces both on and offline by fusing their creativity with their love for what it means to be human.

This keynote poses the question: who do you really want to be? And does your answer to this question change if you are free of all societal expectations?
Audience members will be inspired and motivated by Kath’s positivity and drive, despite having had to overcome adversity in their life. A closeted queer kid until the age of 21, Kath was forced to push past social norms to live their most authentic life. Living authentically is something they had to work hard at, but it has ultimately lead to a life of their dreams. Now they want to share their story with the world.
KICKSTART WITH KATH
In this session, participants will connect through movement while energising their bodies and brains. Queer actor, presenter, writer and content creator Kath Ebbs has been a qualified fitness professional for almost 10 years and is passionate about helping people achieve a healthy relationship with their body. Kath will share their secret to experiencing joy through movement with their favourite kind of movement: dance!KICKSTART WITH KATH
Dancing stimulates the prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain involved in making decisions, predictions and creating new memories. Dancing integrates several brain processes, using musical, emotional and cognitive processes all at once. Dancing also puts us in touch with body and mind, which can promote self-esteem, self-belief and motivation.
It is also an incredibly social activity. Dancing with others activates parts of the brain called mirror neurons. These are cells which ‘light up’ when we watch or imitate a movement that someone else is carrying out. This can help us build empathy toward others, as we are physically experiencing the movement of someone else.
This is the perfect session to kickstart your conference or re-energise your cohort after a lunch break. The social aspect also makes for an excellent icebreaker activity.
Kath can tailor this session to your budget and scheduling requirements. The length and content is entirely flexible.
