Tom Court
Associate Director
Tom Court had a distinguished career as an international rugby union player and a formidable athlete, winning multiple Australian University Games championships in shot put and rowing with the QAS. At 23, he played his first rugby match, quickly making an impact for UQ in the Premier Grade Grand Final, earning a QLD A call, representing Manawatu in the NPC, and debuting with the Queensland Reds in the Super 14 all within 18 months.
With an Irish mother, Tom was then offered the opportunity to move to Belfast on a full-time professional contract. Over the next decade, Tom earned 154 caps with Ulster and 32 with Ireland, won the 2009 Six Nations Grand Slam, beat the Wallabies during the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and experienced European Championship final heartbreak. In 2013, Tom was selected as player 807 for the British & Irish Lions tour in Australia. His club career continued with London Irish, where he helped secure an English Rugby Championship in 2017 before retiring at 36, later making a comeback in the UQ Premier Grade Grand Final in 2018.
Transitioning to coaching and strategic partnerships, Tom has leveraged his unique experience and postgraduate expertise in organisational and performance psychology to drive key industry and government initiatives in urban design, sustainable infrastructure, transport, tourism, and digital innovation.
