17.01.2022 With women’s representation on Government boards and committees increasing from 33.8% in 2015 to 46.4% 2020, our Women on Board’s Strategy is working. Launched today, the 2020-25 Strategy encourages more women like Penny to take on leadership and board roles, creating a more inclusive Tasmania. Working as a builder for a decade, Penny is now a Director of a Building and Architectural company and is a shining example of what woman working in non-traditional industries can achieve. Well done Penny! https://www.communities.tas.gov.au//Women-on-Boards-Strate

09.01.2022 Baby Lewis is testament to the saying ‘good things come in small packages’.

Sourced from Brisbane, the pasteurised donor human milk is safe to use with strict screening and testing, helping babies to grow healthy and strong in the absence of their mother’s milk.
