Paige Harrington first graced the Australia Galaxy Pageants stage in 2015 in the Miss division. Ten years later, she returned to the Ms. division with more purpose, direction and life experience, claiming the title of Ms. Galaxy Australia 2025. 

Paige works as an Education Support Officer, where she supports children with neurodiversity and other impairments through literacy and numeracy intervention, as well as behavioural management. With over five years of psychology study behind her, Paige is on the path to becoming a clinical psychologist, committed to supporting the mental health of children and families. 

Paige is also the founder of Project Worry, a workshop-based initiative focused on improving mental health literacy in children. She believes that while we teach Maths and English, there is often a gap in emotion education. Her mission is to help children understand emotions; what they are, how they feel, and what to do with them, so they grow into adults equipped to manage their mental health. 

Having experienced anxiety and social anxiety herself, Paige understands how deeply mental health challenges can affect someone’s ability to live fully. She is passionate about early intervention and believes that giving children the tools and knowledge to navigate emotions can shape a healthier, more resilient future generation. 

So far, Paige has raised over $1,400 for Australian youth mental health charity batyr and plans to continue to advocate and fundraise in support of their mission to give young people a voice in the mental health space. 

Beyond her professional and advocacy work, Paige is a proud mother. Her daughter is her greatest motivation, reminding her daily to lead with compassion, kindness, and purpose. Coming from humble beginnings as a young single mother who once relied on community support for the basics, Paige now strives to give back in every way she can. She is proof that with passion and perseverance, it’s possible to turn personal struggles into a powerful platform for change.
