This is being led by grazier, Julie Mayne, QRRRWN Board Member, and lead of the Membership portfolio.
We look forward to supporting our members and one another, in so many more ways.
What We Do
Our role is to validate and legitimise the myriad roles of rural, regional and remote women.
QRRRWN Inc. strategic objectives are to develop the capacity of RRR women through education to overcome adversity, develop leadership and participate in decision-making.
QRRRWN Inc. uses its networks to reach RRR women and builds their capacity through:
- Connecting by creating inclusive safe environments and providing capacity building programs
- Networking RRR women with individuals, businesses, government and organisations
- 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.
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. To achieve this, QRRRWN includes a youth program within its annual conference. 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.
Where to get further support:
- Call Lifeline on 13 11 14
- Call 13 HEALTH (13 432 584) in QLD
For further contact details, support and other states, see the Lifeline website.
Sponsors, Funding & Volunteers
QRRRWN is a not-for-profit. It relies on grants, donations and sponsorship.
Our Youth Program & Mentoring is made possible by the Office of Women and the Queensland Government.
In 2019 and 2020 our Annual Conference and the Strong Women in Leadership Awards are supported by:

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.

Bec has become a time management expert out of necessity – so she can have her cake and eat it to. Juggling a professional business, a creative side hustle, interests in her family’s business, being a (sometimes) supportive wife and (hopefully decent) mother of 3 cherubs – some days the cup was empty. She realised there had to be a better way!
