About Craig Hamilton:

Mental Health Advocate, Keynote Speaker and Author.

After being diagnosed with depression and bipolar disorder in 2000 Craig has become one of Australia’s most high profile and sought-after speakers.

Craig covers topics on Mental Health Awareness, Lifestyle, Overcoming Adversity and creating a sustainable Work/Life Balance in his Keynotes.

He has made over 400 appearances around Australia as a Mental Health Speaker.

Craig’s journey with mental illness began in 2000 when, as a high-profile Sports Broadcaster for ABC Radio and on the eve of his most important career assignment, working on the Sydney Olympic Games, he experienced a major psychotic episode in public.

This that led to him being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Craig spent 12 days in hospital and once he recovered, set out to create awareness around mental health and to help break down the stigma that surround those that suffer from mental illness.

Today Craig leads a very busy and fulfilling life. He continues to follow his passion as a speaker and advocate in the mental health and wellbeing space. He has written two books, “Broken Open” and “A Better Life”.

In 2024 Craig’s story was turned into a documentary titled “The Promise” and available on Stan.

The Promise includes insights from leading researchers, experts, and notable Australian figures to spark conversations and provoke thought around the critical issue of mental health and suicide prevention.

In sharing his story and experiences Craig offers hope to others.
