Help fund community voices on the global stage

Mar 15, 2026

Women Deliver 2026 brings together advocates, leaders and organisations working to advance the health, rights and wellbeing of women, girls and gender diverse people. We need support from our networks to ensure community from Melbourne’s west and Ballarat are part of these global conversations.

2026-Conf-Image

Last month, GenWest announced a dedicated scholarship for the Women Deliver 2026 Conference to be held in Melbourne this April. So far we have paid for the full cost of six conference tickets, but we’d love to support more women and gender diverse community leaders to attend.

We currently have capacity to support seven additional scholarship recipients which would bring us to our goal of 15 WD2026 scholarships for local women and gender-diverse community leaders.

Can you help us reach this target?

We are seeking donations to cover the full cost of one or more conference registrations. Each ticket is $1,350. Your support will enable community leaders to attend WD2026 and gain valuable knowledge, connections, and tools to strengthen their work locally.

In addition to conference access, GenWest will provide all successful scholarship recipients with dedicated pre- and post-conference planning sessions, and create opportunities for them to connect and support one another throughout the conference experience.

Your contribution will directly invest in the leadership and impact of women and gender diverse leaders in our community.

If you'd like to donate the cost of a ticket, please contact Wennie van Riet on wennier@genwest.org.au to receive our bank account details and a receipt of your donation. All donations to GenWest are tax deductible.
