She began her career as a speaker in the wake of the 7 July 2005 London bombings.[2] She was the last living victim rescued. Both her legs were amputated below the knee, and her injuries were so severe that she was initially not expected to live. She was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital without a name, identified only as "One Unknown".[3]

Director of the multi-disciplinary design and publishing group Dangerous Minds, and Head of Curation at the UK's Design Council.[4]

Her first book, One Unknown,[5] was shortlisted in 2008 for the Mind Book of the Year. In 2008 she also carried the Olympic torch in Canberra.[6] Hicks was named South Australian of the year in November 2014.[7][8][9]

Gillian Hicks was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2016 Australia Day Honours list "for significant service to the promotion of peace in the community through public engagement, education and network building initiatives".[10]
