As of my last update, the only individual to have won both the Young Australian of the Year and the Australian of the Year awards is Adam Goodes. He was awarded the Young Australian of the Year in 1999 for his contributions to the community and sports, and later received the Australian of the Year award in 2014 for his advocacy against racism and his work in promoting Indigenous rights.
Cathy Freeman won young Australian of the year in 1990 and won the gold medal twice in 1990 and again in 1994. She won Australian of the year once more and retired in 1994.

Tan L's achievements were when she won australian of the year.
The first and only Australian to win Wimbledon in the men's singles category was Rod Laver, who achieved this remarkable feat in 1969. He is renowned for being the only player to have won all four Grand Slam tournaments in the same calendar year twice, in 1969 and 1970. In women's singles, the Australian who won Wimbledon is Evonne Goolagong Cawley, who claimed the title in 1971 and 1980. Both athletes are celebrated icons in Australian tennis history.
