Kellie King said she hadn’t experienced any more barriers or challenges than any other woman. “It wasn’t really until I had kids that I realised the challenges to women in terms of career,” she said.

“The challenge was around how you manage a career and motherhood.” She said the community needed to keep shining a light on the issues facing women in the workplace. “It’s about not making judgements,” she said. “Because mothers who choose to stay home is a very important and valid choice. And not making judgements about women who choose to work full time.”
