Some of Australia’s greatest female athlete’s believe the path to success has never been clearer for young women in Australia.

“Their dreams are becoming corporately viable and financially viable,” Ms Campbell said.

“They have a future to go for and I really want to encourage them to go after that.”

Ms Campbell was a mentor at Thursday night's inaugural Women in Sport mentoring event in Sydney.
