Happy International Women’s Day Queens 🥰

Today is International Women's Day 💜

This year's theme, , reminds us equality is not about advantage for some - it’s about dignity, safety and fairness for all.

Every woman and girl should be safe, heard and free to shape her own future. When this happens, families are stronger, workplaces are fairer, communities thrive and society becomes safer for everyone.

This International Women’s Day, we can all play a part in accelerating gender equality and creating a better, fairer and more equitable community in Western Australia.

Today our Practice Leader Tina Gunter sat down with Sky News and shared a powerful message: Lived experience isn't just a story; it’s a professional qualification.

Marking her 15th anniversary of her induction int the WA Women's Hall of Fame, Tina reflected on her journey from personal battles with addiction and mental health to leading a revolution in how community services are delivered.

For 5 years, Family Access Services has sponsored the Community Category to amplify these exact voices- the women on making a real difference.

At FAS, Tina has turned advocacy into action. With a workforce made up of 90% lived-experience professionals, she is proving that those who have walked the path are the best equipped to lead others through it.

In Tina’s words:
"I use my platform to ensure that women with lived experience aren't just seen- they are empowered. We are moving past the 'stigma' and into a space where our unique histories are recognised as expert perspectives."

"Family Access Services is committed to a high standard of equality. Whether it's men or women entering this sector with a history of lived experience, they deserve more than just a seat at the table- they deserve fair, professional remuneration that reflects the immense value they bring to our community."

Tina isn't just a leader; she is a champion for the idea that your past does not define your future- it fuels your purpose. Help us celebrate Tina’s incredible 15-year milestone and her unwavering commitment to changing the face of the community services sector! ✨

As we approach International Women’s Day, we also recognise and celebrate the incredible women who are an integral foundation in the driving force behind Family Access Services, their unwavering leadership, compassion, and lived experiences continue to shape and support stronger communities💜💜💜💜
