On International Women’s Day, Jobsbank took part in a panel hosted by the Hellenic Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, featuring Viv Nguyen, VMC Chair, County Court Judge Nola Karapanagiotidis,
Corinne Proske, Jobsbank CEO,
Fotini Kypraios, HACCI Chair & Prisma Legal Founder.

Jobsbank’s first Meet The Suppliers event displayed just a hint of the depth and breadth of Australia’s social impact community.
