Jelena Dokic will headline the evening when Camden once again rolls out the red carpet for women who lead, inspire and change the world.

The sixth annual Camden Council International Women’s Day Gala will be held on Thursday 5 March, 5.30–9pm at the beautiful Camden Civic Centre.

An Australian tennis icon, broadcaster, bestselling author and mental health advocate, Dokic will take guests on a deeply personal journey through the peaks and pits of her life, sharing how resilience, courage and self-belief shaped her into the woman she is today.

“I’m looking forward to joining you all and sharing my story… it’s going to be a special evening,” she said.

This year’s theme, #GiveToGain, highlights the power of reciprocity: when communities give generously, women gain opportunity, voice and support, and everyone benefits

Befittingly, this year’s Platinum Sponsor Baba’s Milk, is a brand built on tradition, love and community. Founded on the warmth of “Baba”, a 76-year-old matriarch, every can produced supports Indigenous women healing from domestic violence. That’s purpose in action.

“Backing initiatives that celebrate, empower and protect women is not just important to us – it’s our responsibility,” said Baba’s owner Lepa Flaiban.

Camden’s Mayor Therese Fedeli said the Gala is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of women in Camden and beyond.

“We want every girl growing up in Camden to see a world where her ambitions are supported, her achievements celebrated and her potential is sky high,” she added.

Tickets are currently on sale at $110 per person and $1,000 for a table of 10.
