We are big believers of diversity on Not-For-Profit boards and committees.

We have received funding from the Federal Government, Women’s Leadership and Development Program Project Grants to host a second ELGP program in 2021, specifically for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women (40 years and under) and young women from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds. Young Aboriginal and CaLD women with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply too.
