Sunshine Coast Business Women's Network

What a season it is to be a woman in business on the Sunshine Coast!

As we power into 2026, I find myself filled with pride and genuine excitement for everything this community continues to create together. And right now, there is so much to celebrate.

International Women's Day Breakfast - Thank You

In March we gathered to mark International Women's Day. The energy in the room was electric, the conversations were rich and the insights shared by guest speaker Victoria Devine left so many of us feeling seen, fuelled and ready to balance the scales. Thank you to everyone who joined us. Your presence matters because when we come together like that, we don't just mark a day on the calendar - we build momentum and our voice grows louder.

Business Woman of the Year Awards - Now Open!

The 2026 Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Awards are now officially open and I am so excited to see who you're going to shine a light on.

These awards exist for one beautiful reason: to celebrate the brilliant, bold and hardworking women doing incredible things in business right here in our community. Women who lead with heart and innovate with courage. Women who show up, day after day and make a real difference.

That woman could be you. Or someone you admire. Someone whose story deserves to be told and whose work deserves to be recognised. Please nominate yourself or someone who inspires you at: www.scbwn.org.au/awards-open.

Don't hold back. Don't wait for someone else to do it. If you know an extraordinary woman, now is the time to say so.

Looking Ahead

As the year powers ahead, know this: we see you, we hear you and we support you - in every season of your business journey and in every challenge and every triumph.

This network exists because of you and it grows stronger with every connection we make and every story we share.

With gratitude,

Paula
