THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia's International Women's Day (IWD) breakfast event was held at the Crowne Plaza, Darling Harbour in Sydney, yesterday.
It had a record attendance, with nearly 100 guests.
Attendees heard from Danielle, Dobson (pictured top) author of 'Breaking the Gender Code', along with a panel discussion with several women in the industry.
Further, the Guild's Queensland Branch hosted its third annual IWD Women in Pharmacy Breakfast with guest speaker Attorney-General Hon Shannon Fentiman.
The minister addressed more than 200 community pharmacists, pharmacy assistants and pharmacy industry representatives at Victoria Park Ballroom highlighting this year's campaign theme #EmbraceEquity.
Qld Branch President Amanda Seeto said: "Minister Fentiman left us with a poignant reminder that, 'You can't be who you can't see...'
"As a leader in community pharmacy I'm aware of the important role I play for other generations of women in pharmacy, particularly for interns and pharmacy assistants, by demonstrating pathways for career progression and continuing to progress the pharmacy profession to their full scope of practice."
