welcome to
FOR AMBITIOUS WOMEN, FEMALE FOUNDERS & BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE DONE DOING BUSINESS ALONE.
Wollongong Women is more than an event and more than your standard networking group. It’s a community driven movement for women in business who want genuine connections, ways to get your business seen, where referrals happen naturally and the inspiration to keep going.
If you’re building a business, growing a side hustle or a sole trader working from home, this is where you’ll find other women who get it. The conversations, opportunities and high energy rooms that remind you of what’s possible.
Because when you surround yourself with people on a similar path, your confidence grows, ideas expand and taking action feels easier and way more exciting.
You don’t have to do it alone anymore.

This is not your traditional networking group
We created this space because we hadn’t seen it done before.
Our vision is to change the game for women in business.
Wollongong Women was created because we couldn’t find the kind of networking space we were craving. A modern place where ambitious women, female founders and business owners connect, collaborate, celebrate & grow.
Here, genuine connection comes first!
We gather at our signature Boss Woman Breakfasts, where you walk away uplifted, inspired and making new connections. We also have members-meet ups including coffee catch ups, coastal walks, and after working mingling. And loads of other empowering ways to meet other women in business.
This is a community for women who know they are meant for more and want to grow their business in a way that feels aligned, supportive and more fun.
If that sounds like you, come hang out with us.
Hey, I’m Laura
I created Wollongong Women because
I wanted a genuine space
for women to connect, collaborate, celebrate & grow.
⟡ the inner circle
⟡ the inner circle
The inner circle is a platform for women in business who want more than networking, and to find your tribe of women who get it.
You’ll gain more visibility, expand your opportunities and build genuine new connections along the way.
Whether you’re looking for community or growth you can have both.
You’ll be in good company
Our community includes women in marketing, social media, health and wellness, coaching, accounting and finance, creatives and beauty industries and everything in between.
It’s a space where experience is shared, referrals happen naturally and support feels genuine.

“Laura has created a special network of Illawarra's business women to connect and share stories. Running your own business is stressful and sharing stories with a group of amazing entrepreneurs is priceless. I look forward to attending future events, and even though I'm an introvert I will be there!”

“Laura's genuine desire to lift others up around her is what really makes this group so amazing. I was able to attend my first Boss Woman Brekkie and I loved it, I would highly recommend attending if you have the opportunity. I met so many ladies that I hope to be able to learn from or work with.”

After being part of several networking groups, I can truly say this is a spectacular one! With a mix of meetups, and a plethora of opportunities and encouragement to share your business events and products/services, theres no waiting to begin your networking opportunities - from the moment you join, you are connected!
I love being able to participate in as much or as little as Im available for, with the same opportunities to broadcast my business activities as everyone else. The people are wonderful, from alllll walks of life and businesses, all thriving in an environment that is positive, respectful and beyond supportive. -

From the moment I joined, I’ve felt so welcomed and supported in everything I’ve shared. I especially love the coffee catch-ups and beach walks, which create such a relaxed setting to get to know each other as well as the thoughtfully curated events that provide another chance to connect.
Every woman I’ve met so far has been so lovely, and through Wollongong Women I’ve also been introduced to other businesses and services that support mine. It’s such a genuine and uplifting community, and I’m so grateful to be part of it.
