About the Award

The Brenda Gabe Leadership Award is a biennial award which recognises the contribution women with disabilities in Victoria have made which has either directly benefited women with disabilities, or ensured a more inclusive community.

We encourage the nomination of women with diverse backgrounds and/or life experiences.

The award recipient will be announced at WDV’s Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2019, and receives $2,000 towards a capacity-building project or professional development. 

Nominations close: 3 September 2019

 “I was surprised and honoured to be nominated for the award, and even more honoured to win given the amazing candidates and the amazing work they have been doing.”– Jenny Godwin, 2017 recipient.
