Celebrate Empowered Women This Mother's Day

Join in for an inspiring event honoring the diverse journeys of women balancing motherhood and ambition. This special occasion is designed to connect and uplift all women—whether thriving in your career, navigating challenges, or seeking motivation. As highlighted in an article by The Independent newspaper in 2019, working mothers experience 40% more stress, making this a perfect moment to celebrate and empower incredible working mums.

What to Expect: Inspiring Panel Discussion, hosted by Bec Ware, featuring: Phoebe Croucher, Founder of Olive Interior Styling, Kate & Gemma Gale, Brave authors & cancer survivors, Heidi Biggin, Disability advocate & founder of HB Accessibility, Jess Kelly, Designer, author, and creative entrepreneur.

Three-Course Gourmet Lunch by the Mercure Ballarat culinary team. Signature Gin Cocktail on arrival, courtesy of Gallivanter Gin. Charity Raffle benefiting WRISC Family Violence Support with exciting prizes. Empowering Connections to build community with like-minded women.

A portion of proceeds supports WRISC Family Violence Support, and we're also collecting nappies for The Nappy Collective. Limited spots available—reserve your table today!

Dietary requirements can be accommodated.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
