Lauren Parker

Lauren Parker is an elite sportswoman with an incredible story.

Lauren is a two-time Paralympic Gold medalist and five-time World Championship across para-triathlon and para-cycling.

As a promising professional triathlete and Ironman participant, Lauren travelled the world competing in the sport she loved. But a freak accident during a training ride in April 2017, changed everything and left Lauren a paraplegic.

We provided insurance cover for Lauren at the time of her accident, and this helped give her the financial and emotional support to embark on a new chapter of her life.

Now competing in two sports, para-triathlon and para-cycling, Lauren made history at the Paris 2024 Paralympics, as the first Australian athlete in nearly 50 years to win gold in two sports at the same Games. Following her success in Paris, Lauren was named a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours list.

QBE is continuing our support of Lauren as she builds on her career as a professional sportsperson. Together, we’re dedicated to fulfilling Lauren’s ambition to be a world champion athlete.
