EmpowerHer is a wonderful initiative. If you have a project in mind that will have a positive impact on the lives of women in Queensland, applications for grants are now open!
Breaking down barriers so women can thrive. 💪🏽
The EmpowerHER initiative is a two-day workshop series designed to help women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds, particularly mothers returning to work, gain the skills and confidence they need to achieve long-term economic independence.
Run by the Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast - MCCGC and supported by an Empowering Queensland Women grant, the program addresses key barriers to employment, such as childcare access, employment gaps, and challenges with language and digital skills.
The MCCGC's Kyzzy Romano says the EmpowerHER initiative, bolstered by the Empowering Queensland Women grant, "truly resonates with women".
“When women have access to opportunities, community, and support, they are empowered to shape their futures and our community as a whole grows stronger."
The 2026 round of our Empowering Queensland Women grants program is open, with grants of up to $10,000 available for projects that improve women’s economic security and create lasting community impact.
