The theme of todayโ€™s International Womenโ€™s Day, โ€˜Balance the Scalesโ€™, highlights the importance of ensuring every woman and girl, regardless of background or identity, is safe, respected and free to shape her own future.

We were a partner for the International Womenโ€™s Day event at Phillip Island on Friday - an afternoon of connection, inspiration and celebration, delivered in partnership with Westernport Water, Phillip Island Nature Parks and Bass Coast Shire Council.

The lunch featured special guest speaker Hannah Diviney, a writer, disability advocate, actress, screenwriter and author whose advocacy has gained international recognition.
