Our incredible guest speaker,
Lisa Wilkinson AM

Is one of Australia’s most admired and respected media figures, celebrated for her outstanding career across journalism, television, and publishing. At just 21, she became the youngest editor of Dolly magazine, where she tripled its circulation, before transforming Cleo into the world’s top-selling women’s lifestyle magazine per capita during her decade-long tenure.

Her move to television saw her co-host the Today show, becoming its longest-serving female co-host, before joining The Project and championing issues such as the gender pay gap. In 2021, Lisa’s memoir, It Wasn’t Meant to Be Like This, became a best-seller and was named among Apple’s Ten Best Books of the Year. A passionate advocate for women’s and children’s charities, Lisa was recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia in 2016 for her philanthropic contributions.

Got Your Back Sista, our charity partner

A portion of all ticket sales and all proceeds from raffle tickets will support Got Your Back Sista, a charity helping women rebuild their lives after escaping domestic violence. Please dig deep to make a difference!
