Women in Numbers is proud to present our 2026 Signature Event:
For Love & Money: Protecting Your Future Without Killing the Romance
A practical, empowering evening designed to help women feel more prepared, aware and confident when it comes to money, relationships and financial independence.
Because protecting yourself financially does not mean you are planning for the relationship to fail.
It means you are showing up to the relationship informed, equal and empowered.
This intimate speaker-led networking event will bring together 60 WIN members and invited guests at the beautiful Pillars Club in Sydney for an honest, approachable and important conversation about love, money and the financial conversations women often avoid.
When we enter a relationship, get married, buy property or build a life with someone, money becomes part of the partnership.
But too often, women are left out of the detail, avoid uncomfortable conversations, or assume everything will work out because they are in love.
This event is designed to shift that narrative.
We will explore how women can have financial conversations with confidence, clarity and care, before they ever need to have them in crisis.
The goal is not to create fear or suspicion. It is to normalise proactive financial conversations in relationships.
We want women to feel comfortable asking questions like:
Do I understand our financial position?
Do I know what I am signing?
Am I named on the right assets?
Do I understand our debt, mortgage, insurance and estate plans?
Have we had the right conversations before life gets complicated?
Guests will leave with practical prompts, expert insights and more confidence to have important money conversations in their own lives.
We are thrilled to be joined by three incredible speakers:
Rachel Harker, Relationship Therapist, Founder of Tribal Group
The conversations we avoid and how to talk about money with your partner without making it weird
Rachel will open the evening with a practical and relatable conversation about why money can feel difficult to discuss in relationships, and how to approach those conversations with care.
Melinda Winning, Family Lawyer, Partner at Barkus Doolan
Protecting yourself with love, not fear
Melinda will share insights on what women should understand when it comes to relationships, assets, legal structures and financial protection.
Julie Garis, Forensic Accountant, Founder of Simple Split Financials
What I wish women knew before they needed someone like me
Julie will share what she has seen when women are not financially informed before separation, divorce or unexpected life events, and what women can do earlier to protect themselves.
