About Shanna Whan - 

Shanna Whan is the rural woman, CEO, creator and founder behind nationally respected grassroots charity Sober in the Country Ltd. She was recently announced as the 2022 ''Australian of the Year'' Local Hero winner for her relentless leadership and community service.  In 2015 Shan almost lost her life to a twenty-five year battle with alcohol addiction. But she made it out alive, with the help of her husband Tim, despite the enormous barriers and odds. The couple decided to dedicate this second chance to 'be the change' that was so desperately needed in the booze-worshipping culture synonymous with the outback.  Far from being anti-alcohol; the charity focuses on social inclusion, and putting mates before alcohol.
