#ChoosetoChallenge and pledge your hour of pay

IWIB is proud to once again support the Illawarra Branch of Dress for Success Sydney at our upcoming lunch with Neale Whitaker on 26 March at Villa D’Oro. We’re encouraging all attendees to participate in the annual Dress for Success “Empower Hour” campaign – donating one hour of our pay to help disadvantaged women overcome barriers to employment.

The events of 2020 disproportionately impacted the employment of women and Dress for Success offers personalised styling, free interview clothing and workshops to help women back on their feet and back into the workforce.

For every $10 you donate you’ll receive 3 tickets in our raffle, with some fabulous prizes on offer (NOTE: If you claim your raffle tickets the donation is no longer tax deductible).

By donating 1 hour of your pay, you're not only changing a woman's life, you'll also be impacting the future of her children, family & community around her. 

​​​​​​​You can make a meaningful and practical contribution to the lives of thousands of Australian women. 

With your help we can provide:

- work clothing

- interview support

- job-skills workshops

- mock interview sessions

- career coaching to help one woman change her life for the better
