Paul Shih is recognised as a Mater Foundation Community Hero.  

We are thrilled to recognise Paul Shih, CEO of PRET Australia, as a Mater Foundation Community Hero. 

A passionate educator and community leader, Paul has trained over 5,000 Mandarin-speaking students since 2010, becoming one of the most respected real estate trainers in the country. His accolades include the 2021 Australia Day Achievement Award, 2023 ARAMA Service Provider of the Year, and the Top 10 Outstanding Young Persons Award presented by the President of Taiwan. 

Paul’s commitment to giving back is deeply personal. Many of his students and their families have received care from Mater, inspiring him to support Catherine’s House and the Neonatal Critical Care Unit (NCCU). Since 2021, Paul has raised vital funds through the annual PRET Australia Awards Night and a unique partnership with a dragon fruit farm, which donates 2,000kg of fruit each year to support Mater and other charities. 

Through his leadership, Paul continues to inspire socially responsible business practices and strengthen ties between Mater and the Asian-Australian business community. 

Thank you, Paul, for your unwavering dedication and generosity.
