International Women’s Day (IWD) is on Saturday 8 March, and it’s time to celebrate the incredible women who make a difference every day – the women we support, our dedicated employees, and our amazing volunteers.
This year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, reminds us that while progress has been made, there’s still work to do. By coming together, we can continue building a future where all women, of all abilities, have the opportunity to thrive.
So how can you get involved?
Whether it’s hosting a morning tea at your site ☕, sharing inspiring stories, giving a well-deserved shout-out 📣, or simply taking a moment to reflect, every action counts!
Reach out to your leader for resources and ideas on how you can participate and host an event at your site. Together, we can create lasting change.
You can also visit the International Women’s Day website for more information about the theme, IWD activities and resources.

Acknowledge the amazing people across our workplace!
We want to celebrate and acknowledge the amazing people across our workplace! 💜
Meet Maka! Maka is an employee at Mackay social enterprise and we asked her some questions about her work, and what we can do in the workplace to support women with disability.
We have had some truly beautiful nominations for people at work that we would love to share.
