Since becoming a mum, Olympia Valance has kept a much lower profile — but now she’s back in the spotlight as the new face of Chemist Warehouse’s iconic Healthy Break campaign.
The actress and model, best known for playing Paige Smith on Neighbours, joins former Australian netball champion Laura Geitz as a host of the long-running campaign, which has been bringing health, wellness and everyday products into Australian homes since 2012.
For Olympia, the partnership marks a return to Australian screens in a role centred firmly around health and wellbeing.
In a recent Q&A, Olympia also offered a glimpse into life away from the cameras and the simple things she loves most. She’s a cuppa tea and a night-in kind of girl, and while she admits she would “die for a European summer”, travelling that far with a two-year-old makes the idea a little crazy right now.
When it comes to choosing between beauty and wellness, wellness wins — although there is one beauty essential she won’t leave the house without: her NIVEA lip balm.
It’s a refreshingly relatable picture of Olympia at this stage of her life, where looking and feeling good is less about complicated routines and more about small, everyday choices.
“I’m thrilled to be the new face of Healthy Break. I’m always looking for ways to feel my best and make small changes to support my health and wellbeing, so I love that Healthy Break makes discovering new products and wellness favourites feel simple and approachable,” Olympia said.
“I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in, trying plenty of new products and sharing some of my favourites with audiences.”
Chemist Warehouse Deputy Chief Executive Officer Mario Tascone said Olympia was a natural fit for the role.
“Olympia is a familiar face on Australian television and a much-loved personality, and we’re excited for her to bring her energy to Healthy Break. Her ability to connect with audiences will help us showcase both new and popular health and wellness products in the iconic Healthy Break way that Australians have come to know and love.”
Healthy Break featuring Olympia Valance will air across Australian television networks and online video platforms from 1 October 2026.
