The Women in Law Breakfast is an annual event hosted by the QUTLS in partnership with law firms to acknowledge, address and advance the importance of gender equity within the legal profession. This event also serves as a platform for firms to demonstrate their commitment to supporting and empowering women in law, especially given that over half of Australian law graduates are women. This breakfast will feature speeches from inspiring industry leaders, reflecting on both the progress achieved and the challenges that continue to impact women in the legal industry.

The Diverse Voices in Law Breakfast aims to celebrate inclusion and encourage meaningful discussions about the significance of representation and diversity in the legal profession. This breakfast will feature a variety of perspectives from legal professionals, such as those with diverse backgrounds, including individuals with disabilities, those from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our breakfast meaningfully promotes gender equality, disability inclusion, cultural diversity and support for LGBTQIA+ individuals by providing a forum for open dialogue, and greater inclusivity within the legal industry.

Queer Beers is a relaxed and inclusive social event designed to celebrate and support the LGBTQIA+ community within the law school.

By creating a relaxed setting for conversation and connection, the Coffee Catchups encourage peer support, networking, and engagement throughout the semester.
