Womens Business Circles

On the back of the success of our BC+ Initiative, in 2021 we are launching Women's Business Circles for our collective.

The circles offer the opportunity for our Makers & Kreators to lead circles for women in business to come together, connect & create.

Our goal is to improve the wellbeing of women we work with and promote economic development for women in enterprise in the NT.

Proudly Supported by NT Government. With thanks to the Office of Gender Equality and Violence Reduction.
