Events
The annual lunch event is happening again on Friday 7th March 2025. Our guest speaker will be Rosie Batty AO, who will share her story of resilience and how she empowers others to confront darkness, find hope, and move forward. Tickets will be available soon!
Fundraising
The annual luncheon held in March around International Women’s Day each year, helps to fundraise for not-for-profit women’s services in the Illawarra. To date, more than $400,000 has been raised for women’s programs and services across the Illawarra.
Scholarships
The International Women’s Day Illawarra Committee awards eight individual scholarships of $2,500 each to encourage women in our community, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, to expand in a field of their interest or in which they have shown great potential.
International Women’s Day Illawarra
International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated around the world each year on 8th March to acknowledge the gains women have made over the years, and to bring to our attention the issues that still face us. Most of all, it is a day to celebrate and recognise the difference and achievements that women have made and continue to make.
