International Women's Day - The Saffron Sisters Collective Launch

Join us for the grand unveiling of The Saffron Sisters Collective, celebrating International Women's Day with a purpose

The Saffron Sisters Launch

Join us for the official launch of The Saffron Sisters , a collective for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) women entrepreneurs in Greater Western Sydney. Born from research exploring the small-business ecosystem for migrant, refugee, and diaspora women entrepreneurs, The Saffron Sisters Collective is a space for connection, shared learning, and the building of businesses grounded in cultural identity.

We are honoured to be joined by Hon Dr Andrew Charlton MP, Federal Member for Parramatta, and Mr James Jegasothy, Deputy CEO of Multicultural NSW.

Who This Event Is For

This event is for CALD women entrepreneurs at any stage of their business journey, as well as those who support and champion them. Whether you're starting out, growing your business, or working alongside diverse communities, you're welcome here.

We also invite allies who want to learn, connect, and stand alongside CALD women in business.

Photography and Videography

We will be taking photos and videos throughout the event to share the story of the Saffron Sisters. Please speak to our event team on arrival if you would prefer not to be photographed.
