ABOUT WOMANZ (Women of Australia and New Zealand)
We are an informal network of Australia-based professional women (and men) and business owners who have a Kiwi connection in common.
Our vision is to build a diverse business community that fosters professional and personal connections and opportunities through unique business and social events.
It's all about embracing our identity as Women of Australia and New Zealand and contributing to the Australasian business community, ensuring we have fun while doing it!
OUR STORY
WOMANZ was created in 2012 in Melbourne, when we realised there was a great opportunity to connect the many and varied businesswomen from across Australia and New Zealand to create a powerful network of like-minded people.
Backed by the New Zealand Victoria Business Group (NZVBG), a small group of volunteers set about organising engaging events, with a Kiwi flavour, designed to inspire connection, collaboration, and fun. The response was immediate, and WOMANZ has continued to grow ever since.
Our events are currently held in Melbourne and online. With connections from across the globe we hope to host events in other cities as we grow.
OUR COMMITEE
The WOMANZ community thrives thanks to the dedication, energy, and expertise of our volunteer committee. This passionate team brings together diverse professional backgrounds, a shared Kiwi heritage, and a commitment to fostering connection, growth, and fun within our network.
