IWD 2026 - Happy International Women’s Day! 🌟 Inspired to hear from Katherine Bennell-Pegg Australian of the Year for 2026 at the Adelaide International Women’s Day Breakfast. Katherine spoke of women in space and how aspiration, curiosity, an enabling environment to achieve one’s goals, inclusivity and peer support were essential to her career achievements. This included being selected from a pool of 200 candidates to develop a range of STEM, physical, linguistic and behavioural skills needed to became the first qualified astronaut under the Australian flag as well as the first female Australian to be trained as an astronaut. An amazing achievement! 👏UNAASA Committee members were joined by Advisers, Corporate Member, a sponsor and member at the event which attracted a record attendance by school groups this year. It was especially special coming together this year. Tributes and emotions continued to flow for past UNAASA President Lidia Moretti with kind acknowledgements of Lidia’s past contribution to the organising committee for this event and volunteering generally from host Senator Penny Wong and chair of the breakfast organising committee Alexis McKay. 💜💜Thank you to #adelaideIWD for the opportunity to attend to honour Lidia, we thoroughly enjoyed the morning and the company #balancethescales#iwd2026
