PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

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:

  1. Marketing – growing visibility and communicating your value

  2. Finance – building financial literacy and confidence

  3. Governance & Leadership – strengthening decision-making and accountability

  4. Wellbeing & Sustainability – preventing burnout and leading in a way that’s energising, not exhausting

  5. 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.

  • A blend of expert-led sessions and facilitated discussions

  • Local POD engagement

  • Cross-regional connection with your Cohort

  • A supportive, values-driven environment

  • Practical tools you can implement immediately

At the end of the 12 weeks, you won’t just have new knowledge — you’ll have stronger networks, clearer direction, and renewed momentum.

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.
