Celebrate Women’s History Month 2025 by learning about three prominent Melbourne women activists Helen Lothan Robertson, Dr Constance Stone and Zelda D’Aprano – feminists who led the way on equal pay and conditions and the provision of professional health care for all women and children. 

Share stories and connections from the sites of Victoria Trades Hall (Victoria Street), the Welsh Church (La Trobe Street) and the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre (Lonsdale Street), highlighting the importance of these sites to Melbourne’s feminist history.

The tour will conclude at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre on Lonsdale Street, the former QV Hospital, where participants will enjoy a light lunch by Jarrah catering and an opportunity for Q&A.
