Services
Franklin Women is Australia’s only professional community dedicated to supporting women working across various roles and organisations within the health and medical research ecosystem. We bring together thousands of women in STEMM and their allies, along with the many organisations that employ them—from academia and healthcare to industry.
If you share our mission and want to collaborate on events and initiatives that lift up women in our sector, we’d love to work with you.
Move and motivate your people
Our founder, Dr. Melina Georgousakis is a social entrepreneur, advocate for the health and medical research ecosystem and relatable keynote speaker known for her authentic approach and ability to connect with diverse audiences.
Drawing from her own experiences and the inspiring stories from the Franklin Women community, she combines data, passion and a little sparkle to deliver engaging and memorable presentations that champion women in STEMM and celebrate positive workplace cultures.
Melina regularly speaks in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne and she is also available for virtual workshops and webinars.
Promote diversity, equity and inclusion within your organisation
Whether you aim to foster better cultural awareness, navigate sensitive conversations or support career progression for underrepresented groups, we partner with you to build an environment where every team member can achieve their full potential.
Our goal is to help you find and keep great people while building a respectful and equitable workplace that benefits everyone. We offer tailored support to ensure your DEI initiatives are effective and aligned with your unique organisational needs.
Deliver meaningful events that offer practical skills and new perspectives
This includes setting up visibility projects like Wikipedia Edit-a-thons to recognise women’s contributions (just check out these impact metrics) and running workshops that explore the importance of cultivating culturally safe workplaces to deepen your organisation’s understanding of inclusion and allyship.
