The Queensland Rural Regional and Remote Women’s Network is here to CONNECT, DEVELOP and INSPIRE the wonderful women in our Rural, Regional and Remote Queensland areas.
Our role is to validate and legitimise the myriad roles of rural, regional and remote women.
QRRRWN strategic objectives are to develop the capacity of RRR women through education to overcome adversity, develop leadership and participate in decision-making.
QRRRWN uses its networks to reach RRR women and builds their capacity through:

An update regarding Bush Fire Support from #bakedrelief.
For those affected by the fires, you are in our thoughts.
#QRRRWN #ConnectDevelopInspireNote from Baked Relief Regarding Bushfire Support
~ 13 November 2019 ~
Thank you to everyone who has contacted Bakedrelief on how they can help during this time of the bushfires in NSW and Qld.
We have been monitoring areas and keeping in touch with the local CWA groups in each town and people we know on the ground. We are so pleased to see many people doing great things in their community
The local communities are doing an amazing job. You only have to see some of their facebook pages to be inspired by the generosity of spirit in their communities. This is why we haven't launched Bakedrelief. These teams on the ground are doing so well (even to the point of overwhelm with donations, meals, baking, water, fruit, etc) and this is truly heartwarming to see. We also need to be mindful of keeping everyone safe and not sending people into high-risk bushfire areas unnecessarily.
We will continue to assess the needs over the coming days and weeks and if there is a way we can inspire you to help we will post it here on the page.
Equally, if you hear of a need, or you have a need in your community, please contact us and we will rally the troops and provide what we can.
Here at bakedrelief we do not take money but focus on direct giving to emergency services personnel and those impacted by bushfires during the immediate time of need.
Even a small amount can make a huge difference and these are the places we encourage you to give if you want to provide help to where it is most needed:
If you donate to QCWA 100% of your donation directly goes to those in need. We strongly support the public rural crisis fund.
