Want to reduce the amount of waste you produce, but don’t know where to start?

Join Nanna Anna to discover how small, simple changes in your everyday life can significantly reduce the amount of waste you produce.

Living a lower waste lifestyle is something that many Australians are keen to do, as it becomes increasingly obvious that our daily choices directly affect the environment. But when faced with the abundance of information available, it can be overwhelming to know where, and how, to begin.

This free face-to-face presentation is designed to help you explore ways to live a more low-waste lifestyle. It will cover practical examples of how to identify waste elements in your household; low-waste alternatives to everyday items and consumables; and different approaches to implementing low-waste strategies and habits in the future.

Registration is required and spots are limited.

International Women’s Day is a global celebration of women’s achievements and raises awareness for women’s equality.

Thirty years ago, the world committed to a bold vision for gender equality, the United Nations' Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.

Since then, we’ve seen women break barriers, reshape policies, and ignite global movements. Yet, despite these strides, the promises made remain largely unfulfilled for millions of women worldwide. We are simply not where we should be.

It’s time to turn promises into progress. March Forward.

Join us for International Women’s Day 2025 to commemorate Beijing+30 and #MarchForward for a gender equal future.

Our annual International Women’s Day Breakfast is being held on Thursday 6 March 2025, with keynote speaker Dr Emma Fulu, one of the world’s leading experts on ending violence against women and girls.

Tickets now on sale and are $25 per person, including a plated breakfast.

If you have any questions about this event, contact us.

This is an accessible event. Access supports, including Auslan or language interpreters can be requested at the time of booking.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have come a long way in a very short time. The transition to EV's is speeding up like the world of renewable energy. 

Is it time to make the switch? 

If you’re considering an EV, join this free webinar where we will examine the rapid changes and evolution of the EV car industry.

The information session will help you understand:

• distances that Australians usually travel and how the perceived barrier to EVs is dissolving
• charging systems, charging times and expanding infrastructure
• battery technologies - innovation is driving higher capacity, less weight, longer life spans, better safety and end of life recycling
• the cost to travel using electricity as a fuel and the impact of a growing electric fleet for our electricity grid
• the various models that are available now, and the many more that will arrive with policy changes and surging demand.

Is it time for you to make the switch to a lean, clean transport machine?
