We’re rewriting the story. Will you be our story keepers?
This is Me is a celebration of real women, in all our complexity, strength, and brilliance.
It’s a space for those who have overcome, spoken up, rebuilt, and risen.
A stage for survivors, women of colour, older and younger women, women from LGBTQIA+ communities, sex workers, neurodiverse women, and anyone who has ever been made to feel less than enough.

This final chapter of This is Me will be unforgettable. Featuring a powerful keynote by Rosie Batty AO, alongside moving performances, music, art, and stories that remind us what resilience truly looks like.

We gather on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people, honouring their Elders and the matriarchs whose strength continues to guide us.

This is a women-led initiative, created entirely by volunteers who identify as women.
Every ticket supports Full Circle Social Enterprises, helping fund leadership programs for young people in India who are overcoming displacement, trafficking, and poverty to build brighter futures.

🎟️ Ticket includes: entry and entertainment.
🥂 Food and drinks available for purchase.
🛍️ Marketplace stalls featuring ethical fashion and handmade accessories supporting community causes.

Come and be part of a movement, one that celebrates authenticity, amplifies truth, and builds doors instead of walls.
⚠️ Please note: this event includes content that may be confronting or emotionally charged. Discretion is advised as part of our collective truth-telling journey.

Follow our journey on Facebook, Instagram and visit www.thisismemelbourne.com.au for volunteering, and partnership opportunities.

We can’t wait to welcome you to this final celebration — a tribute to courage, connection, and the power of women, together.
