  Managing Stress, Heavy Workloads and Isolation in Your Role

  
  

  AIOP's Victorian Division is pleased to invite our members and the wider business support community to join us for our final event of 2026 - an evening to connect, unwind and celebrate the year, with some practical wellbeing insights along the way.

  
  

  As Executive Assistants and administrative professionals, we're often the people keeping everything moving, juggling competing priorities and supporting others. But who supports the people doing the supporting?

  
  

  We're swapping the boardroom for drinks, canapés and good conversation. It's an opportunity to reflect on the year, recognise all we've achieved and take a well-earned moment to focus on ourselves. After all, looking after others starts with looking after ourselves.

  
  

  We're delighted to be returning to Hotel Indigo Melbourne, who looked after us so well earlier this year. Joining us will be our guest speaker Jo Gibbs from Treat Healthcare. A registered nurse and leadership coach with more than 35 years of experience in high-pressure healthcare environments, Jo understands the impact of stress, fatigue and constantly supporting others.

  
  

  Through Treat®, she works with leaders and teams to reduce burnout, strengthen emotional regulation and build sustainable approaches to wellbeing and performance. She will share practical, research-informed strategies to help navigate competing priorities, manage workplace stress and overcoming the feeling of being stranded on an “EA island”.

  
  

  Details:

  Date: Wednesday 2nd December

  Time: 5:30pm arrival | close at 7:30pm

  Venue: Fern Restaurant at Hotel Indigo - 288 Little Collins Street, Melbourne

  
  

  What to Expect:

  • An engaging session with guest speaker Jo Gibbs, offering practical takeaways to help you find moments of calm and better support your wellbeing.
  • Drinks and canapés in a relaxed, cocktail-style setting.
  • The opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people and expand your professional network.
  • An opportunity to explore Hotel Indigo's accommodation and meeting spaces.
  • The chance to win a fantastic door prize!

  At AIOP, we believe professional development is just as much about the connections we build as the knowledge we gain. 

  Join us as we wrap up 2026 with good conversations, valuable connections, and take some well-deserved time for yourself.
