presenting events that inspire and challenge

Equal Futures Project is well known for hosting inspirational speakers - each with a unique story to tell and who are committed to improving the world, and making our communities more equitable and inclusive. 

Our 2024 International Women's Day breakfast featured investigative reporter and author, Louise Milligan.  Her books and television reporting have won Louise many awards over the years, including three Walkleys, six Quill Awards, including the Gold Quill - the highest honour in Victorian journalism. Louise was also awarded the 2019 Press Freedom Medal for her work defending sources who came from a community profoundly betrayed by the Catholic Church. 

CHARITY PARTNER

Following a call for Expressions of Interest, Zara's House was announced as our 2024 Charity Partner.  The ongoing strong support of our IWD event allows us to continue supporting important charities such as Zara's House.  

Thank you to our Event Partner Port Waratah for their ongoing support. 

If you have any questions please contact us.

RECENT PAST EVENTS

Our 2023 IWD breakfast featured the inspiring  Nova Peris, OAM .  Australia’s ‘lady of firsts', Nova was the first Aboriginal woman elected to Federal Parliament and the first Aboriginal Australian to win an Olympic Gold Medal.  

The event also supported three local charities - Prelude Australia, Splash of Colour Swimming and Carrie’s Place – who shared the proceeds from the event.  

Former Australian of the Year, Grace Tame, launched our inaugural Keynote Series in September 2022.  Grace is an inspiring young Australian who has spent the last 10 years turning her traumatic experience into advocacy for survivors of child sexual assault and a leader of positive change.
