How do we create systems where fairness is lived, not promised for all women and girls? 

This International Women’s Day 2026, we’re embracing the UN Women Australia theme “Balance the Scales,” to focus on what justice looks like when it is truly accessible.  

We’re honoured to welcome Commissioner Krissy Barrett APM, the ninth Australian Federal Police Commissioner, as our keynote speaker. With 25 years in national security, major investigations and frontline leadership, she brings deep experience in creating safe, inclusive, and accountable institutions. As the AFP First Nations Champion, she advocates for culturally informed practice and community driven change. 

Too many women still face violence, silencing and barriers to support. The gap between legal protections and lived experience remains wide, especially for First Nations women who continue to navigate historic inequity, intergenerational trauma and limited access to culturally safe services. 

“Balance the Scales” challenges us to build workplaces and systems where women are heard, supported and able to shape their own futures with confidence. 

Join us for this important conversation on what fairness, safety and dignity look like in practice, and how we can take real steps toward justice that is truly accessible for every woman and girl.
