Ambassadors

Anthony Field

The Blue Wiggle's own career has taken some surprising twists - the career path Anthony Field took to where he is now is certainly not an obvious one and his success story can be seen as a result of all his interests coming together.

Anthony began his career as an infantry soldier and a piper with the 5/7 Royal Australian Regiment. Anthony, his brothers Paul and John, and purple Wiggle Jeff were members of the 80's chart topping group The Cockroaches. Anthony attended Macquarie University Institute of Early Childhood Learning along with Murray Cook and Greg Page obtaining his Diploma of teaching in 1990. It was there the three began writing children's songs as one of their University music projects, with the assistance of Jeff Fatt, andThe Wiggles were born.

Anthony has always been keen to continue to pursue other projects that interest him, proving that career development never really ends. Hence the importance of his role as Ambassador for the NCDW campaign as an inspiration to all Australians.

Chris Bath

News Anchor and working mum, Chris Bath, began her career on metropolitan television at age 23 as one of Australia's youngest television presenters. Chris now has a regular gig as a Channel 7 News Anchor and has presented a number of television programs in her career to date, including as host of You've Got the Job!

Chris can currently be seen on television screens nationally on the Channel 7 weekly current affairs program Sunday Night. Chris is well known for her enthusiastic performance as runner up in Series 3 of Dancing with the Stars in 2005 and continues to demonstate her enthusiasm for throwing herself into new experiences.

Steve Liebmann

Steve Liebmann is one of Australia's most respected journalists, and has been a television and radio broadcaster for more than four decades. Following a career with the Nine Network, and more than two decades with the Today show in particular, Steve Liebmann is now a presenter of factual programming on Foxtel including Crime Investigation Australia and History channels. Steve has also worked on Sydney radio station 2UE as a talk-back host and as a weekend anchor of Ten News.

Angela Bishop

Network Ten’s Entertainment Reporter, Angela Bishop is able to combine her passion and expertise for the arts and current affairs on a daily basis.

Angela's first involvement in the entertainment industry was in Law and Med revues at the University of New South Wales, while studying a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Political Science and Drama). A serious player in student politics, she served as the first female Chairman of the Student Union.

Away from the television cameras, and her radio work on 2GB, Angela is also a committed and active member of the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation and Pink Ribbon Ball committee.

In October 2007, with husband Peter Blakie, Angela welcomed to the world a beautiful daughter Amelia, something she says has certainly brought some new skills to her work!

Mark Furze

Mark Furze is perhaps best known for his role as Ric on Home and Away for which he was nominated for a Silver Logie. The hugely popular young actor has always enjoyed a challenge and looked for opportunities to pursue the positive impacts that personal experiences can bring - from making it to the final three in the Seven Network's singing program It Takes Two or as an Ambassador for the Asthma Foundation.

Mark, who got his big break in acting when he was still at school in Orange, recently left Home and Away to embark on an exciting new career in the music industry. Says Mark, "I have been fortunate through my career in acting and music to be able to learn new skills and gain confidence I may have never had the chance to develop. I encourage all young Australians to go out and seek new challenges - you never know where they might take you!"
