Elif Venice

Elif Venice is a 21-year-old semi-professional footballer, psychology student, and model from Sydney. Currently in her fourth year of a Bachelor of Psychology, Elif balances her studies alongside competing in National Premier League first grade football and building a successful modelling career.

Having faced significant challenges, including recovering from a unexpected injury and navigating a brain tumour diagnosis, Elif has developed a deep passion for resilience, personal growth, and empowering others to pursue their ambitions fearlessly.

Through the Miss Universe Australia platform, Elif hopes to  use her platform to inspire young women to believe that they do not have to fit into a single box. She is passionate about breaking the stereotype that people must choose one path, proving that it is possible to pursue multiple dreams at once. Whether in sport, education, modelling, or beyond, Elif’s mission is to encourage others to back themselves wholeheartedly and realise that with belief, discipline, and courage, anything is possible.
