Our monthly Lunch & Learn sessions are designed to provide access to speakers you otherwise wouldn't get a chance to hear from, on a range of topics, in an informal way.

These exclusive member-only events are designed to bring our speakers to a broader audience – we recognise that not everyone can attend our live events, due to location or budgetary limitations, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out!

This impact on carers is increasing with the ageing demographic of our population & longer life spans, requiring more women to dedicate time to caring for older & disabled family members – often while juggling career & children.  At the same time, changes to government funding of the aged care system are seeing more funds directed to homecare services, enabling older Australians to live longer at home, with a combination of government funded support & family assistance. These factors will see women increasingly burdened, requiring a supportive work environment & policies to facilitate their engagement with the workforce & the ability to build retirement savings.
