Venus Mothers Day Lunch 2026

Welcome to The Venus 2026 Mother's Day Lunch proudly brought to you by the Hyatt Regency Sydney!

Hello, my name is Paula Duncan AM and I am a proud Ambassador of the Australian New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group (ANZGOG) - WomenCan.   

8 years ago, I suffered a tragic loss of my beautiful sister Carmen Duncan to this horrible gynaecological disease. Unfortunately, it was detected far too late and although she was very healthy and lived such a fulfilling life, nothing could save her. I have therefore committed my life to help funding and research into gynaecological cancer. 

Join me for a delightful afternoon at the Hyatt Regency Sydney to celebrate the special value of Mothers in our lives. Enjoy canapes on arrival, a sit-down main meal and grazing platters of dessert, unlimited champagne, beer, wine, tea, coffee, soft drinks.

Help us raise funds for Gynaecological Cancer Research and Clinical Trials. Our aim in 2026 is to raise $100K and you can help just be attending the lunch.

This year we will feature the story of my beautiful sister Carmen -

"A Life of Courage, Love & Legacy"

Our lunch MC will once again be the very talented Jean Kittson AM, Australian performer, writer and comedian in theatre and print, on radio and television.  Special guest performer and lots more,
