Join RFCS NSW and Grow Social Work Services & Consulting for an inspiring and informative gathering aimed at celebrating, empowering, and enhancing the wealth and wellbeing of rural women in our community. It is a unique and inclusive event designed to address the four pillars; financial, physical, mental and social to improve your financial literacy and learn practical ways to support your wellbeing across different stages of your life.

In rural communities, women play multifaceted roles as caregivers, business owners, and leaders however, their own health/wellbeing is often overlooked. This forum seeks to shine a spotlight on rural women, providing them with a chance to connect with like-minded individuals and access resources to foster wellbeing, improve self-sufficiency, social connectedness and resilience.
