Run By Women, For Women

The SBWN is a membership-based women's network, run by women for women. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming, fun and diverse group of women (and a few men) from a wide variety of professions and ages.

We're all in this together! We juggle work, family, friends and community commitments, and come together for events, workshops and training sessions, and stay in touch via the usual social media channels.

We are run by a volunteer committee who meet monthly and are responsible for our operational and financial management.

Everything we do is about providing opportunities for women from all walks of life in the Bass Coast and South Gippsland regions to connect and learn.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being an SBWN member is that you can shape the direction of the network and our member benefits, and at the same time, make a real difference to your regional community.

A Network Underpinned By Principles

Core Values

At the core of our network are values of connection, inclusiveness, strength, confidence and kindness.

We believe in fostering a supportive environment where women can thrive, connect, and achieve their full potential.

Connection

Real connections that go beyond business—because success is stronger when we grow together.

Inclusiveness

A space where every woman is welcomed, heard, and valued—no matter where she’s come from or where she’s headed.

Strength

Harness the collective strength of women lifting each other up and rising together.

Confidence

Where encouragement fuels self-belief and every step forward builds unshakable confidence.

Kindness

Rooted in kindness—because empathy, support, and generosity are powerful forces for change.
