Expressions of Interest Now Open
Are you a woman in regional NSW who is ready for deeper connection, stronger capability, and meaningful growth — for yourself, your business, and your community?
Thriving Together is a 12-week online experience designed to bring women together locally and across NSW to build knowledge, confidence and powerful support networks that last well beyond the program.
This is not just another course.
It’s a community. A learning journey. A catalyst.

What You’ll Gain
You’ll build genuine relationships with women in your own region while also connecting with participants across the state.
You’ll:
➡️ Be part of a local POD in your region
➡️ Join cross-regional online sessions with women from across NSW
➡️ Build trusted relationships and long-term support networks
➡️ Share experiences with others who understand the unique opportunities and challenges of regional life
This program is designed to reduce isolation and increase collaboration — because thriving doesn’t happen alone.
Practical Knowledge from Experts
Across 12 weeks, you’ll learn from experienced professionals and subject matter experts across key areas, including:
Marketing – growing visibility and communicating your value
Finance – building financial literacy and confidence
Governance & Leadership – strengthening decision-making and accountability
Wellbeing & Sustainability – preventing burnout and leading in a way that’s energising, not exhausting
And other topics critical to sustainable growth and community impact
Each session is practical, relevant and designed for real-world application in regional contexts.


Support from an Experienced Coach
Throughout the program, you’ll be guided by an experienced coach who understands business, leadership and regional realities.
You’ll receive:
Structured guidance and accountability
Space for reflection and strategic thinking
Support to implement what you’re learning
Encouragement to step into your next level with clarity and confidence
This is about transformation — not just information.
Who It’s For
Thriving Together is designed for women who:
Are leading a business, organisation, initiative or community project
Has an idea but not sure how to make it a reality
Want to grow their skills and confidence
Value collaboration over competition
Are ready to invest in their own leadership and wellbeing
Believe that strong women strengthen communities
Whether you are established or emerging, this program meets you where you are — and helps you move forward.

Expressions of Interest Now Open
We are currently inviting women to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
Selected applicants will then be invited to complete a formal application process prior to cohort confirmation.
If this resonates with you — or with someone you know — we invite you to take the next step.
Your next chapter of growth, connection and leadership could start here.
Thriving Together — because when women thrive, communities thrive.
