International Women's Day (IWD) is an opportunity to celebrate the inspirational women in our lives.
Women are our healers. Our mothers. Our daughters and sisters. And much more...
With 70% of global healthcare workers and practitioners being women, we have a lot to celebrate today.
Women are now entering our health industries in an exponential manner. The Australian healthcare and social assistance workforce is comprised predominantly of women, making up a staggering 79% of the workforce.
These numbers are testament to the trailblazers who came before. The teachers, mentors and colleagues that paved the way for women in healthcare.
In celebration of today, we spoke with some of these inspiring trailblazers to learn more about their careers, barriers they may have faced, what IWD means to them, and advice on how we can encourage future female leaders.
