We are incredibly proud to have supported the Australian Women’s Deaf Basketball Team on their journey to the Deaflympics in Tokyo 🇦🇺🏀

Thanks to this contribution, these talented athletes were able to compete on the world stage, representing Australia with absolute pride, determination and heart.
Supporting women in sport; especially athletes with a disability, is something we are deeply passionate about and this team embodies everything that makes that mission so important.
From powerful moments on the court to inspiring leadership during timeouts by Head Coach Debbie Coulson, this campaign was about more than just basketball: it was about opportunity, resilience, and representation.

A special shoutout to Molly ( #4), who at just 17 balanced elite sport with her final VCE exams (yes, she sat one in the Athletes Village!) achieved an outstanding ATAR and is now studying a double degree in Business (Banking & Finance) and Accounting at Monash University. Truly inspiring 👏

We’re also grateful for the heartfelt thank you from Lily, Lucy (signing), and Alysia: your words mean everything.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do.

International Women’s Day 2026 theme,
‘Balance the Scales’, is a promise that every woman and girl; regardless of background or identity, should be safe, heard, and free to shape their own lives. Yet in 2026, too many are still denied that fair go.

Discriminatory laws, harmful practices, and gender-based violence remains widespread, while structural barriers continue to block access to justice.
These barriers are not inevitable. They are built and they can be dismantled.
This , let’s together 💕
