Events by this speaker

Corey Mckernan played at the highest level for over 12 years in a career which included two AFL Premierships in 1996 and 1999 with North Melbourne, a Best and Fairest and the league’s Most Valuable Player award. He understands highs and lows of sports having seen both ends during his career.

Post football saw him do tours to the biggest events on the planet and met the biggest names in sports, business and entertainment.  The US Masters Tours, Super and the biggest NFL games were just some of the tours that he brought peoples dreams come through.  Also, around the same time he finished playing football he bought a pub and built it from the ground up, making The Leveson in North Melbourne one of the best multi-purpose venues in Melbourne.  

These days, Corey is the founder of his Not For Profit, Walk With Me. An organisation that aims to give back to the community through training workshops and ongoing support programs led by elite athletes.  Walk with me started at the height of Australia’s Covid-19 lockdown in May 2020. After reading an article detailing concerns about people's mental health with restricted living, Corey wondered how he could help. He came up with the idea to deliver a group walk over Zoom. Anyone could join and be connected to a supportive walking group.  

Since then, the organisation has grown to embody their new vision of: Elite athletes supporting mental health. Through their live community training session, and their Australia wide events, Walk With Me is delivering on their promise of supplying the community with tools for great mental health.
