Last year we held a free webinar series with a focus on wellbeing and ways to respond personally and professionally to current conditions facing rural and regional Queensland.

It was such an amazingly successful event we are bringing it back again!

Check out the amazing content we will be bringing you on the Rising Beyond Now page via the link below.

Women living in rural, regional and remote (RRR) Queensland are courageous, generous, powerful and inspiring. They are achievers who get things done and play a key role in their communities. To honour these women, QRRRWN’s ninth annual awards, the Women In RRR Awards 2021 will shine a light on RRR women and connect, develop and inspire them to make their mark through a development program and renewed alumni community. Using their skills, talents and ingenuity, they are building their businesses, working in their communities and leading the way for the next generation of women.

• Connecting by creating inclusive safe environments and providing capacity building programs

• Inspiring RRR women to realise their potential, be influential, contribute and share their stories
• Fundamental to our purpose is building the capacity of RRR women.

2021 Inspiring Youth in Rural, Regional & Remote Queensland

With the generous support of the Office of Women and the Queensland Government, QRRRWN has been able to inspire and develop young women in rural, regional and remote Queensland for a number of years.  In 2021 QRRRWN will include a youth program within its annual conference again. It is an opportunity for young women attending the Youth Program to engage with mentors who provide:

• career guidance; and
• illuminate pathways for their role in rural, regional and remote communities.

Thank you to our volunteers

Our volunteers are what keeps QRRRWN going. Over many years hundreds of women have volunteered time to support QRRRWN and to lift up other rural, regional and remote women. The work is unpaid and at times it is extremely busy. We thank you for supporting QRRRWN and other rural, regional and remote women.

We are supported by Sponsors and Partners
