Prioritise Your Wellbeing at the 2026 Pro-Torque Women’s Wellness Lunch
Women are the backbone of our communities—leaders, carers, mentors, and supporters. Yet behind these roles, many are quietly navigating their own mental health challenges.
Right now, 1 in 2 Australian women are experiencing mental health issues, with 1 in 4 facing severe conditions. Despite this, many continue to place their own wellbeing at the bottom of an already full list.
That’s why the Pro-Torque Women’s Wellness Lunch exists.
Proudly supporting Lifeline Hunter, this annual event creates a space for women to pause, reflect, and reconnect—with themselves and with others. It’s more than a lunch; it’s a community-driven initiative designed to encourage help-seeking, spark meaningful conversations, and raise vital funds for local crisis support services.
Held at the beautiful Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, the event brings together women from across our region for an afternoon of inspiration, connection, and impact.
What to expect in 2026:
An inspiring keynote from 2023 Australian of the Year, Taryn Brumfitt
2023 Australian of the Year and founder of the Body Image Movement, Taryn Brumfitt is a globally recognised advocate for positive body image. Her keynote will explore the powerful connection between body image and mental health—an especially important conversation as body image, burnout and anxiety remain key pressures facing women today.
A premium wellness experience + Panellist Discussion
Guests will enjoy a beautifully curated 3-course meal, drinks, and thoughtful touches designed to create a calm and uplifting atmosphere while gaining insights into varied experiences of women’s mental wellbeing from Pettigrew Family Funerals, Genea Fertility Clinic, Lifeline Hunter and Women’s Mental Health Australia.
Connection that matters
From shared stories to new friendships, the day is centred on authentic connection—because we know meaningful conversations are key to improving mental wellbeing.
