WLAQ were delighted to host their second event in the three part Female Factor Series last week. It was a room filled with warmth, honesty, and a whole lot of laughter as our panellists shared the high’s and inevitable low's of juggling motherhood and careers.

A sincere thank you to our panellists for their openness in sharing their experiences in such an open way. These conversations matter, and it is through this kind of honesty and frankness that we continue to support and empower women across the profession.

We are continuously grateful to The College of Law Australia for generously hosting the event and for their ongoing support of WLAQ and initiatives that create space for these important conversations.

We can’t wait to see you for our Final event, Sustaining Success, Women’s Health in the Law on 11 June 2026. Tickets and further information here: https://www.wlaq.com.au/event-details/sustaining-success-womens-health-in-the-law
