Upcoming Events

This International Women's Day, Southern Cross Austereo in partnership with Women In Media NSW presents Future Proof: Winning in Digital Media.

Join us for an evening of connection and insight with drinks, generous hot and cold canapés, and a live DJ as we dive into navigating the opportunity in YouTube, Podcasts & Digital Storytelling.

As audiences and revenue shift to digital platforms, this session brings together senior women leaders from broadcast, digital, and podcasts to unpack what's really happening on YouTube and in Podcasts today, how podcasts and vodcasts are opening creative and commercial opportunities, and what you need to consider when developing a future-proof digital strategy.

You'll walk away with:
A clear understanding of where the real opportunities sit as the industry transforms
Practical insight into how your existing skills translate to digital-first platforms
A realistic view of what's actually working—audience behaviour, formats, and monetisation
Greater clarity on new career paths and business models emerging beyond traditional TV
Tools to future-proof your career, not just your content

Whether you're a producer, creative, or executive navigating industry change, this is your chance to gain practical strategies for meeting audiences where they're going—and building a sustainable business while you're at it.

For women in media, visibility can come at a cost – from online abuse or workplace bullying to burnout.

Women in Media Victoria and leading Australian law firm Maddocks invite you to an empowering conversation about what it takes to stay safe, resilient and supported when your work puts you in the public eye.

The panel brings together multi-Walkley Award-winning Four Corners investigative journalist Louise Milligan, Guardian Australia’s social media reporter Matilda Boseley, and Maddocks partner and workplace harassment specialist, Catherine Dunlop. Together, they’ll explore the risks women face online and off – and what actually helps. How to protect yourself, respond to abuse and navigate legal options, all while maintaining your mental health.

Louise and Matilda will also reflect on their latest books – Shellybanks and The ADHD Brain Buddy – and the personal experiences that shaped them.

Join us for an evening of honest conversation, expert guidance and connection with other Melbourne women working across media and communications.
