In the Spotlight – this Spring
Coastal Goddess is proud to announce that its fourth Annual Charity Fundraising Lunch, held on Saturday 24 May at Kefi at Koolewong, raised an incredible $19,141 in support of WomenCan, a fundraising initiative of ANZGOG (Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group).
The event brought together a powerful community of women, families, and local businesses from across the Central Coast to raise awareness and funds for gynaecological cancer research—one of the most underfunded areas of cancer care in Australia.
WomenCan raises vital funds for ANZGOG, the peak national gynaecological cancer research organisation, which conducts world-leading clinical trials across Australia and New Zealand.
Despite gynaecological cancer rates doubling in the past 20 years, these cancers continue to receive disproportionately low funding, and survival rates remain close to what they were 50 years ago.
In April, ANZGOG called on the federal government to commit $100 million to better understand gynaecological cancers, improve treatment options, and address the alarming rise in diagnoses.
“This isn’t just a women’s issue—it’s a national health crisis,” said Dr Needham. “We’re proud that our fundraising efforts, now totalling close to $85,000 over the past four years, can play even a small part in creating change.”
Guests enjoyed a long lunch overlooking the water, with raffle prizes and an auction that brought the community together in a meaningful and inspiring way.
“Every ticket purchased, every prize donated, and every person who showed up on Saturday helped shine a light on the importance of women’s health,” Dr Needham added. “We’re so grateful—and we’re already planning for next year.”

We are thrilled to welcome local Dentist and Hygienist duo, Tom and Tracey, as our lead speakers. They’ll be sharing valuable insights on how menopause can affect your teeth and gums – a topic many women don’t realise is so important.
We’ll also be officially launching our incredible new Fotona laser, with live demonstrations on the night so you can see it in action. Nibbles and drinks will be provided, making it the perfect night to relax, learn, and connect.
All Sisterhood members are invited, and you’re welcome to bring a friend. We’ll kick off from 6pm in our Saratoga clinic – it’s an evening not to be missed!
