In the morning at The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel, the Governor of Tasmania, the Honourable Barbara Baker, accompanied by Emeritus Professor Don Chalmers, delivered an address as guest speaker at the 2025 Women in Law Breakfast hosted by the Tasmania University Law Society.

The Governor was delighted to serve as guest speaker at this event which brought together law students, young lawyers and legal professionals to celebrate the achievements of women in the legal field and also to discuss the challenges and opportunities they face.

The Governor is a University of Tasmania Law graduate and previously spoke at the event as a Judge of the Federal Circuit Court in 2013 and also soon after her appointment as Governor in 2021.

This morning, she discussed changes in the legal profession for women in recent years, including positive workplace developments, and also provided advice to students and young lawyers as they set out in their careers.
