Celebrating International Women’s Day with the EOC

In celebration of International Women’s Day this year, we partnered with the Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC) for the City of Perth’s Stall in the Mall. Held in the heart of the CBD, the event allowed us to connect and inform women about their rights under the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 and the Health and Disability Services (Complaints) Act 1995. This includes their right to fair treatment, and to safe and ethical health care.

Additionally, in recognition of this year’s theme “Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate Progress.”, HaDSCO’s Director, Ms Sarah Cowie, joined the EOC for their annual speed mentoring event in Albert Facey House. This involved ten women, who have excelled in their field, sharing their knowledge and wisdom to a group of young women to foster a new generation of female leaders.

“I was delighted to be part of the speed mentoring event. The young women were very inspiring and engaging. They were focussed on future careers where, through their leadership, they could make a difference to the lives of Western Australians.”, said Sarah.
