JOIN RAINBOW WOMEN

How do we create impact for professional LGBTIQ+ women?

We host regular self-funded events in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia to connect our members, supporting them in sharing their experiences openly and building their network of professional LGBTIQ+ women in a safe and inclusive environment. We look forward to expanding to other states and countries in the future.

What our members say

“Joining Rainbow Women in 2022, I didn’t expect to find my tribe so quickly. It was like stepping into a technicolour world where everyone spoke my language—fluent in professionalism and queer culture. I felt so comfortable, I almost checked my shoes for ruby slippers. There’s no place like this network!”

— Dot (she/her)

“As a non-binary person in corporate spaces, Rainbow Women has been a lifeline for me over the past 5+ years. It’s more than a network; it’s a community where I’ve found the courage to embrace and express my authentic self. For anyone navigating professional environments, Rainbow Women offers invaluable support, empowerment and most importantly, FUN.”

— Billy (they/them)

“Rainbow Women provides a great opportunity to connect with other LGBTQIA+ women in various industries. I’ve really enjoyed being able to meet more folks in the community and share our perspectives and lived experience!”

— Alicea (she/her)

“I joined Rainbow Women in 2019 and have attended both in-person and virtual gatherings. What stands out is the affirming, inclusive space where I can connect with other queer professionals, without the fear of awkward questions. It’s a supportive network spanning various industries, making me feel less alone. As a parent, I also appreciate the mix of meeting times, allowing me to join when it works best for me.”
