Tickets are sold out for the 21^st International Women’s Day Illawarra Lunch.

We are looking forward to hearing from inspiring guest speaker Jana Pittman…Olympian, doctor, mother and TV personality. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and reinvention, and promises to be truly inspiring.

Jana Pittman epitomises resilience and determination. A two-time world champion and four-time Commonwealth gold medallist in the 400m hurdles and relays, she is the only Australian woman to have competed at both the Summer and Winter Olympics—switching from track to bobsleigh in 2014. When injury setbacks threatened her career, she reinvented herself on the ice, proving her trademark tenacity.

International Women’s Day always celebrates a global theme, and in 2026 it is Balance the Scales – a promise that every woman and girl – regardless of background or identity – should be safe, heard, and free to shape their own lives.

The IWD Illawarra lunch event has been supporting local women and organisations for over 20 years and is one of the biggest and most sought-after events in the Illawarra’s calendar.
