Investing in You: Prioritising Health Through Every Stage of Your Career
About this Event
Professional women spend much of their careers investing in projects, teams, organisations and the people around them. This event is an opportunity to invest in something equally important: your own health.
Join Adelaide Women in Procurement on Thursday 20th of August 2026, for an evening of practical education, meaningful conversation and professional networking as we explore two important areas of women's health that can significantly influence wellbeing, confidence and career success.
We are pleased to welcome our guest speakers: Marita Aldridge and Dorota Gancarz MSc who will share evidence-based information on breast health, breast screening, perimenopause and menopause, while providing practical strategies that empower women to better understand their bodies, make informed health decisions and continue thriving both professionally and personally.
Whether you're early in your career, leading teams or supporting others, this evening offers valuable knowledge that every woman deserves to have.
