Welcome to the WD2026 Feminist Nesting Hub

The Women Deliver 2026 Conference (WD2026) is more than a conference — it’s a rallying point for feminist solidarity, resistance, and reimagination. For the first time, the Women Deliver Conference will be regionally hosted, taking place 27-30 April, 2026, in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia.

The WD2026 Feminist Nesting Hub at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre (QVWC) is a dedicated, welcoming space for eligible WD2026 participants to pause, connect and recharge away from the pace of the Conference. Victoria-based organisations and individuals attending the WD2026 conference can access free venue use at Queen Victoria Women’s Centre throughout the event period. Brought to you by the Victorian Government and the QVWC.

Located in the heritage-listed Queen Victoria Women’s Centre in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD, the Hub features two comfortable, flexible rooms suitable for meetings, co-working, focused individual work, networking, small talks, shared lunches and more.

While you’re here, you can also:
• Experience the powerful Mana Wahine exhibition
• Take a break in the cosy QVWC Community Space
• Browse QVWC Shop for some iconic feminist finds

📍 Location: Queen Victoria Women’s Centre, 210 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne
