International Women’s Day 2026: Canberra Photo Project

There are women across Canberra doing extraordinary work that most of us never hear about.

In the lead-up to IIWD 2026, Jade Warne (Small Business Growth Club) and Jo Tarnawsky (This is Leadership) decided to do something about that and issued a call-out on social media inviting applications from Canberra women whose impact was real, but rarely showcased.

These are their photos and stories.

Leadership isn’t a ladder, it’s a table. And there is room for more of us.
