The WA International Women’s Day 2026, Leaders Breakfast Event was a memorable and inspiring gathering that brought together leaders, advocates, professionals, and community members to celebrate the remarkable women who have shaped Western Australia.
Held against the stunning backdrop of Kings Park, the event created a meaningful space to honour the achievements and legacy of women who have contributed to Western Australia’s social, political, scientific, and community development.
International Women’s Day provides an opportunity to recognise progress, celebrate leadership, and reflect on the journeys of women whose contributions, both visible and unseen, continue to shape our communities. This Leaders Breakfast recognised not only women in positions of influence, but also the countless women who drive change through caregiving, community building, mentorship, and advocacy.
