We are delighted to invite you to An Evening in Conversation with Wendy McCarthy AC.

Wendy was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in the King’s Birthday 2025 Honours List for her eminent service to children and youth, to health, to the arts, to business, to the community, and to women's leadership. In this limited ticket event, we will hear from Wendy about her journey from country schoolgirl to receiving the highest recognition in the country. She is an advocate, changemaker, teacher, leader, author, mother and grandmother and a great sharer of stories to inspire, including in her most recent book, Don’t Be Too Polite, Girls.

Wendy will join our President, Annabel Griffin, in discussion about her journey, challenges, what’s inspired her, bravery, friendship and what’s next.

This is an event you won't want to miss.
