welcome to

FOR AMBITIOUS WOMEN, SOLOPRENEURS & BUSINESS OWNERS READY TO GROW WITH COMMUNITY, CONFIDENCE & CONNECTION.

Wollongong Women is more than an event… it’s a movement.

A space where driven women come together to connect, collaborate, learn and level-up.

Whether you’re building a business, leading a team or turning your side hustle into something more, this is where you’ll find the people, the energy and the opportunities to help you rise.

Because when you surround yourself with women who get it, you stop second-guessing and start growing.

This is not your traditional networking group

We created this space because we hadn’t seen it done before.

A place where ambitious women, solopreneurs and big dreamers could meet and support one another. Because as the saying goes, you are the average of the 5 people you hang around the most.

We catch up over breakfasts (our signature event!), cocktails or mocktails, coffees and coastal walks.
We host retreats, workshops and experiences that will leave you feeling inspired, energised and motivated to take the next step.

This is a community for women who know they are destined for more, so if that is you and you want to elevate your life in a way that feels good - come hang out with us!

  • Networking Wollongong

    The kind of conversations you didn't know you needed.

  • Women who see you and want to see you win.

  • Shellharbour Networking Group

    Where we talk business and real life.

  • Wollongong Networking Group for Women

    It feels like catching up with old friends—even if you just met.
