Join us for a powerful International Women’s Day Brunch celebrating the voices, leadership and lived experiences of women from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds.

Hosted by Victoria University Postgraduate Association (VUPA) and funded by SSAF, this uplifting event brings together postgraduate students, community leaders and emerging change-makers for connection, inspiration and meaningful conversation.

Our panel of inspiring women leaders will share reflections on representation, leadership journeys and the importance of creating inclusive spaces where all women can thrive. Following the discussion, enjoy a relaxed networking brunch designed to spark dialogue, build community and honour the strength and diversity of women across the university.

This is a space to connect, reflect and celebrate the women shaping our communities today and the leaders rising among us. Come celebrate, reflect and discuss all things "#AccelerateAction" for International Women’s Day 2026. 

RSVP by 4 March! This event has limited seating and places will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
