International Women’s Day 2026

There are women across Canberra doing extraordinary work that most of us never hear about. This International Women’s Day, we’re doing something about that!

I’m partnering with the fabulous Jade Warne from the Small Business Growth Club to host a FREE professional photo shoot in the lead-up to IWD2026 for a select number of Canberra women whose impact is real but rarely showcased.

Jade has photographed global leaders including Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. We are incredibly lucky to have her talent in Canberra and even luckier that she is choosing to donate it for this!

Applications are invited for Canberra women who are doing fabulous things in business, science, advocacy, community, leadership, the arts, public service, or beyond - without the accolades, titles, or spotlight that so often follow the same familiar names.

You don’t need to be a CEO! You don’t need honours or letters after your name! You don’t need a polished personal brand! What matters is the work you are doing, lived experience, and a story worth sharing.

If selected, you’ll have an opportunity to be photographed and filmed, with visual assets you can use long after 8 March. You’ll have your work and story amplified online around IWD 2026. And you’ll be part of a growing network of women in Canberra who believe in showing up for one another.

To apply, you just need to answer a few simple questions in this application form.

In our view, leadership isn’t a ladder - it’s a table. And there’s room for more of us.
