QLD IWD event postponed to Friday, 28 March 2025
Due to the imminent arrival of Cyclone Alfred, which is likely to impact Brisbane late Thursday or Friday morning, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the SCLAA International Women’s Day event to Friday, 28th March.
Safety comes first, and we don’t want anyone braving cyclonic conditions to attend. While we’re disappointed to delay, we’re committed to making our (slightly belated) IWD celebration just as inspiring, impactful, and worth the wait!
If you’re unable to attend the new date, please contact secretary@sclaa.com.au to arrange a refund for your ticket, otherwise we can't wait to see you there!
