LUC LONGLEY - VICE-CHAIR

Luc Longley played basketball in the USA for 14 years and was the first Australian ever to play professional basketball in the NBA. He was a member of the all-conquering Chicago Bulls team that won three consecutive championships from 1995-96 to 1997-98. Luc also represented Australia three times in the Olympics. He's one of our most successful sporting exports and has been the chairman of Heathway since 2003.

Returning to his home town of Perth in 2001 Luc quickly developed a reputation as a responsible corporate citizen, giving a great deal back to the state that he was raised in. He is a major shareholder and founding investor in Fiona Wood’s Clinical Cell Culture, a biomedical company that produces treatments for burns victims.

Luc’s time in the United States reinforced his commitment to the Western Australian environment. Luc said, “I had a great life in the US, but I was also very aware that their environment has been heavily impacted. One of the reasons that I chose to come back to WA was the environment.”

This commitment to WA’s unique environment has seen Luc has help to conserve its heritage, to assist to protect the old growth and high conservation value forests of the South West, putting his name to the Save the Forests campaign and being patron of Denmark Conservation Appeal. In addition, Luc threw his support behind the Save Ningaloo Campaign, which exemplified the power of community.
