With no down time, babysitting fees or travel costs, women can participate from the convenience of their own homes.

• Undertake professional development from the convenience of your own home
• Learn from industry’s best via a series of webinars
• Bring your chosen project or ideas to life
Who should apply?
Women who are involved in primary and associated industries (agriculture, fisheries or forestry industries). Applications are open to all ages. You don’t need to be directly involved in primary production to apply - women who live in rural and regional Australia and want to make a difference to the sustainability of their community are also encouraged to apply.
