About Me

My name is Anannya

Hi! I’m Anannya Bandaru, a student at Gosford High School with a passion for leadership, advocacy, and community service. I’ve been recognized with awards like Young Person of the Year (Australia Day Awards 2024) and Youth Leadership of the Year (Central Coast Youth Week Awards 2024) for my work in youth advocacy.

I founded KalpaVruksha, an initiative focused on community donations, and I’m actively involved in mentoring, tutoring, and volunteering. Music is also a big part of my life—I play drums and piano, perform in musicals, and tutor students in drumming.

Through HerCarePath.com, I’m working to advocate for gender equality in healthcare and support women in leadership and mental health. I believe in creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and making a lasting impact.

Key Focus Areas

Creating a Fairer Future for Women in Healthcare

Women in healthcare face unique challenges—whether it's breaking into leadership roles or balancing career and family life. HerCarePath is here to change that.

We focus on two key areas to drive real impact:

Gender Equality in Healthcare

More Women in Leadership – Too many leadership roles are still held by men. We’re pushing for mentorship, equal opportunities, and fair promotions.

Mental Health & Well-Being for Women in Healthcare

Postpartum Support – Many healthcare workers return to high-pressure jobs after having a baby, with little mental health support. We’re here to change that.
