Chelsea Roffey

Melbourne, Australia

An adventurous spirit and a desire to get the most out of life have led me down the unique path of being the only woman officiating in the Australian Football League and the first in history to have umpired an AFL Grand Final.

What do I do when not avoiding being used as a speccie stepladder on the weekends? As a dedicated music lover and storyteller, I have broad ranging experience in writing, editing and video production on all sorts of topics. I also regularly appear in the media and on panels discussing umpiring and women in leadership.

Driven by the belief that things are not always as they seem, I get a kick out of asking questions, changing perceptions and connecting with the fire in the belly of those I meet.
