IWD Breakfast 2025

Our breakfast will be a morning full of lively conversation and delicious food. We celebrate women in our community who actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions and help create a more gender-equal world by inspiring inclusion.

We welcome Lauren Szigeti (Class of 2018) as our guest speaker.

Lauren was a key member of the student leadership team in 2018 and her positive outlook on life and her desire to embrace all opportunities was very evident even then. She completed a Bachelor of Paramedicine in 2021 and a Graduate Certificate in Mental Health in 2024.  She has worked as a paramedic, a disability support worker and is now an education presenter at the Black Dog Institute and Sport Integrity Australia.

Whilst doing all this she has also made her very successful mark in the world of AFLW. She played in the VFLW for three seasons, representing the Darebin Falcons before signing with Hawthorn in the AFLW in 2020. She moved to Sydney Swans in 2022 where she took on the role of inaugural co-captain, and has spent the last three seasons giving her all to the Swans.  

By attending you will be supporting the work of McAuley for Women and Children in providing much needed support for women and their children who are escaping family violence.
