March 8 is International Womenâs Day. . A day where we reflect on how far we have come and how far we still have to go to truly achieve gender equality. Itâs also a day to celebrate and recognise those women amongst us who are doing great things (we all know plenty of them). . The theme for #IWD19 is #BalanceforBetter - a call-to-action for driving #gender #balance across the world. . There are lots of events on across town and throughout regional Victoria but the hottest tickets are those to the #ChangeOurGame #IWD19 Lunch. . Join our Change Our Game #ambassadors, #champions, some amazing guest speakers and the broader Victorian sport and recreation sector to celebrate the day. . There are a handful of tickets still available but you will need to get in quick - all the details via our bio. . #womeninsport #womeninmedia #leadership #networking #genderequality #diversity @aflvictoria @basketball_vic @swimmingvictoria @nrlvictoria @hockeyvictoriaofficial

âTo get to the point weâre at now â where gender equality is no longer considered a fringe idea spoken about on the sidelines.â - @jerrilrechter . It was great to be part of the conversation today at the @vichealth Leading Thinkers Initiative Behavioral Insights and Gender Equality. . We joined leaders from government, the arts, politics, sport, education and the corporate sector to discuss how we can work together to balance the scales. . Headlined by former Prime Minister, the Hon. Julia Gillard AO, an incredible line up of speakers shared insight and practical strategies on how we can move from intention to action. . #leadingthinkers #changeourgame #genderequality #diversity #leadership

Today we celebrated International Day of Women and Girls in #Science. . Dr. Bridie OâDonnell joined year 9 and 10 girls from three schools to talk about barriers, career highlights, challenges and how science can take you anywhere. . âI urge you to be inquisitive, bold, brave and to never hold back. Bridie told the attentive audience. . Their role often goes unnoticed but today we want to recognise all the women working in off-field science roles. To the team doctors, trainers, dietitians, biomechanists, strength and conditioning coaches, physiotherapists, sports psychologists, analysts...the list goes on and on. Thank you for the work you do in keeping our athletes fit, healthy and performing at their best week in week out. . #EPApanel @RoyalSocietyVic @EPA_Victoria @WomenSciAUST #changeourgame #womeninsport @bridie_od

We know visibility and leadership are crucial elements to drive change. As the Director of the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation, Dr Bridie O'Donnell is out and about on a regular basis, speaking with a range of stakeholders and educating the sector on the @victorian_government Change Our Game initiative and the role of the Office for Women in Sport and Recreation. You can't be what you canât see and through Bridie's work along with that of our Change our Game #Ambassadors and #Champions, we are taking the opportunity to develop and extend personal relationships and further engage and educate the sector on the importance of diversity, leadership and presenting alternative ways to tackle systemic barriers to female participation. . #leadership #CantBeWhatYouCantSee #WomenInSport #ChangeOurGame @bridie_od

A fantastic way to start the day at the @VicOpenGolf. đđťââď¸ . Before play got underway, @golfaust offically launched their #EvenPar program. . Supported by the @victorian_government through the #changeourgame initiative, the program is designed to create gender equal golf clubs here in Victoria. . A range of guest speakers addressed the audience and Chyloe Kurdas, Female Engagement Manager at #GolfAustralia spoke about the wide reaching impact the program will have on the broader golfing community, . âThis is about people, making sure our communities are healthy, well and thriving. We want to inspire our golfers to become leaders and drive positive change through their communities.â . #changeourgame #evenpar #leadership #golf #womeningolf #genderequality
