Give to Gain. When women are seen, everyone rises.
International Women’s Day 2026 invites us to Give to Gain — a powerful reminder that progress doesn’t happen in isolation. When we give time, resources, attention and opportunity, we don’t lose. We multiply impact.
And right now, one group of women is still being asked to succeed quietly, adapt constantly, and carry the load unseen.
Neurodivergent women.
Women with dyslexia and other learning differences are thriving across corporate Australia — yet many remain under-recognised, under-supported, and underrepresented in leadership conversations. The cost of that invisibility is enormous. For women. For workplaces. For society.
This International Women’s Day, ReThink Dyslexia invites you to give — so we can all gain.
An investment in visibility, inclusion and real change
This inaugural International Women’s Day Breakfast is more than a morning event. It’s a statement.
By purchasing a ticket, you are:
-
Investing in awareness for neurodivergent women in the workplace
-
Backing education and advocacy that drives real inclusion, not lip service
-
Contributing to a community where women don’t have to mask, apologise, or work twice as hard to belong
When we give visibility to women who have been overlooked, we unlock talent, innovation and leadership that benefits everyone.
That’s Give to Gain in action.
Keynote Speaker: Melissa Webster
We are thrilled to welcome Melissa Webster as our Keynote Speaker, CEO of ADHD Australia and COO of Melba Support Services.
Melissa is a powerful advocate, leader and lived-experience voice who brings depth, honesty and insight to the conversation around women, work, identity and inclusion. Her keynote will challenge assumptions, spark reflection, and leave you energised to think — and act — differently.
This is a conversation you’ll be glad you were in the room for.
