HOPE's International Women's Day Breakfast Panel

Join us as we celebrate International Women's Day for 2026 with our special panel event, proudly sponsored by CommBank.

This engaging panel will bring together women leaders from across business, finance, strategy and social impact to share their insights and experiences on what it means to balance the scales — particularly for women and families facing disadvantage.

We’d love to see you there as we come together to listen, learn and stand alongside women — on International Women’s Day and beyond.
