Speaker Feature – Women of the Pilbara Forum 2025
Join us at the Women of the Pilbara Forum to hear from Daiva Gillam, Deputy Mayor of the City of Karratha and CEO, Regional Development Australia Pilbara.
We asked Daiva three key questions in the lead-up to the Forum:
I’ve lived in the Pilbara for 19 years, in Port Hedland, Wickham and Karratha with my hubby Mick and our teenagers, Matilda and William. Born at the old Nickol Bay hospital, they are super lucky to be growing up as Pilbara kids.
The Pilbara has such a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming community – friends quickly become family, and your neighbours are part of the village that raise your kids. We’re a community where people freely show up for one another – and our towns should absolutely have the infrastructure, services, and connectivity needed for people to be proud to call the Pilbara home.
The other speakers you’ve listed are an incredible line up of regional leaders and add to that the audience who will attend – look out world, the Women of the Pilbara are coming together, and it will be inspirational!
We’re looking forward to hearing from Daiva as she shares her insights!
Save The Date: 15th & 16th October 2025 – The Hedland Hotel, Port Hedland
