Overview

With female representation in Victoria, now over 50% and climbing, females are an integral part of the past, present and future of the lifesaving movement. We celebrate the many roles and facets that females contribute, pay tribute to the exceptional role of our female volunteers and acknowledge the opportunity that lifesaving brings for females to be active, participate, develop and lead.

This initiative is something the organisation deems as extremely important part of the future development of our female members and staff. This is another step forward for the lifesaving movement in ensuring that females have the skills, confidence and support to fulfil their future lifesaving and professional ambitions. Moreover to share experiences, inspire and be inspired.

FEMALE LEADERSHIP NETWORK;

MAKING THE MOST OF CHANGE, with Dr Bridie O’Donnell

Throughout Bridie’s career, she has endured change and challenges, both in medicine and in professional sport.  She is an innovative leader, who has never backed down from an opportunity to help improve and impact people’s lives in a positive way. As the inaugural Director of the Office for Women Sport and Recreation Victoria, Bridie and her team are delivering the Change our Game suite of initiatives to level the playing field for women and girls in sport and active recreation.

During this session Bridie will discuss how she is viewing the current challenges facing women and girls in sport, as an opportunity to pause, review, pivot and come back bigger and stronger.

Participants will be given an opportunity to review their current situation and how they can also look at this as an opportunity to reset and make positive and lasting changes.
