Women in Sport breakfast.

The Women in Sport Breakfast is Australia's biggest celebratory event championing equity for women and girls.

This year's event will take place on Friday 9 October at Centrepiece Melbourne, and is presented by Level Up Collective.

Women's Sport is not a moment - it's a movement.

The Women in Sport Breakfast, presented by Level Up Collective brings together influential voices to spark ideas, build networks and drive real impact. It brings the future of women's sport into focus through inspiring story telling.

Introducing the theme for the Women in Sport Breakfast 2026: A Seismic Shift

In the US and UK, we're seeing record crowds, broadcast deals, commercial investment, and pay parity conversations that would have felt impossible a decade ago.Australia hasn't felt that same shift... yet. But the tremors are here: growing participation, more visible athletes, pockets of investment, and a public appetite that's shifting.

‍

This year, we're welcoming Georgie Purcell, Lydia Williams, Chris Jones and Holly Ransom to the panel, and Libby Trickett and Georgia Dunne for the Fireside Chat.

"You can make a difference — whether it’s turning on the TV and watching a game, buying a membership, creating safe environments for girls in junior sport, hiring the next female CEO, or paying an athlete what she’s worth based on her skill, not her gender." - WSA President Chantella Perera
