"Giving back to the game and community means a lot to me and I thoroughly enjoying getting out and about meeting new people from all walks of life."

"I have been engaged in a wide range of community activities since I was 17 and being at three different clubs I feel I have met and experienced a lot of different people and communities such as inner Sydney all the way up to far North Queensland."

Having experienced professional challenges, Cameron says he understands the need to focus on mental as well as physical health.

"I feel I bring experience especially to the State of Mind role being in the game for many years and facing many mental battles due to experience through injury and hard times."
