Justin Levis appointed Chair
Wednesday, 10 Dec 2025
After almost seven years of serving on the Life Ed Australia Board, we congratulate Justin Levis on his new appointment as Chair.
Justin takes on the role following the strong leadership of Sue O’Malley.
Justin brings a compelling vision for the future of Life Ed Australia, grounded in a deep appreciation of the organisation’s mission and potential for national impact.
I want to acknowledge Sue, whom I have known for many years. Whether advancing our respective businesses or working together in service of young people through Healthy Harold, Sue has always brought vision, integrity, and determination. She leaves a lasting legacy that I now have the privilege of continuing.
All of my children have met Healthy Harold, and it has been my mission to ensure they carry those lessons through life. This is what brings me here today. My commitment to this work is both personal and professional. I am excited to lead an organisation where every child’s future truly matters.

With over 30 years of experience within the fashion retail industry, both domestically and internationally, Justin’s success extends from his entrepreneurial business background.
He is a master at strategic governance, an accomplished Director and recipient of Ragtrader’s 2021 “Leadership Award”. He also serves on the Board of Sydney FC’s Foundation.
About leadership, a great retailer once said to me: ‘You should listen more than you speak.
This has always stuck with me. Being a good listener is key to connecting with people and building relationships – and this is certainly what I intend to keep doing as Chair of Life Ed Australia. It is a privilege to learn from and work with the incredible team that elevates children’s health literacy across the country.

With extensive experience across both corporate and not-for-profit sectors, Justin is well-equipped to guide the organisation through its next phase of growth and to strengthen its national presence.
