Nic Grose has been named the 2025 Dubbo electorate Woman of the Year in recognition of her impressive record of accomplishments in exercise physiology, community sports, and leadership.
Nationals Leader and Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders, commended Nic on the honour, recognising her dedication to sport, health, and community in every role she undertakes.
"This is such a well-deserved award for Nic, who along with running a very successful business Active on the move rehab, volunteers for several sporting groups," Mr Saunders said.
"She's the President of Dubbo Touch Football Association, a Country Director on the NSW Touch Association Board, League Tag Co-ordinator and Coach for St Johns Junior Rugby League, and is the Assistant League Tag Coach for CYMS Football Club."
Nic also volunteers with community organisations including Clare's Angels and the Tie Dye Project, as well as playing a bit of touch footy herself.
In 2024 she represented Australia in the Women's 40s Division at the Touch World Cup and has played for NSW in the Women's 35s and 40s sides.
"Nic is supported by husband Clint and their sons Paddy and Olly, and I am thrilled to be able to recognise her as an exceptional role model in our community," Mr Saunders said.
The Local Women of the Year Awards provide the opportunity to recognise and celebrate progressive thinkers, everyday heroes, social advocates, and innovative role models in the community.
This year, 93 women have been nominated by their local MPs to be acknowledged during NSW Women's Week in the first week of March.
