Built by Women
Community programme

Programmes

Made by the
women who did it.

Workshops, a podcast and regular networking between the major events. Every one created and delivered by women.

Workshops

Practical, not motivational

Small groups, ninety minutes, one useful thing you can act on the same week.

Women networking

Coming soon

Getting your first sponsor

What a partnerships manager actually needs from you, what makes them say no, and how to write the one-page ask.

Two women in conversation

Coming soon

Australian business, from scratch

ABN, structures, insurance and the paperwork nobody explains when your qualifications came from somewhere else.

Workshop session

Coming soon

Getting into the room

How council, grant and procurement processes really work, and who to talk to before the form goes in.

The podcast

Built by Women

Conversations with women who built something: a business, an organisation, a platform, a career on the second attempt.

What it cost. What they would do differently. And the specific person who opened the door, because there is always one.

Business associations

We work with, never against

Chambers of commerce, professional associations, migrant support services, councils and universities. If you already have the members, we bring the platform.

01

Co-hosted sessions

Your members, our room. A workshop or panel built around what your members actually need.

02

Referral partnerships

We send women who need what you provide. You send women who need a room. No fee either way.

03

Awards partnerships

Sponsor or judge an award category and put your association in front of the whole room.
