PLATINUM+ MEMBERSHIP

Platinum+ has approximately 400 active members across Australia. Future Women is the leading community for professional women.

Started in 2019 by former media executive Helen McCabe it has rapidly grown to offer high-calibre professional development and training alongside premium content with podcasts, newsletters, book clubs and live interviews with guests from around the world.

The scholarship provides a unique opportunity for winners to access this incredibly unique and high-calibre community while also receiving premium training and mentoring.

The NSW rural cohort will be joined by a range of women from other agricultural organisations to help deepen their connections in relevant fields and beyond. The signature activities include a 2-week Online Leaders Program, a 2-day Leadership Summit, small group mentoring, leadership webinars and a lifetime Red membership.

The scholarship is targeted at women who are current or future leaders in their field or community who want to connect to a bigger, like-minded community to help fast-track their skills and network.

"I understand the unique barriers faced by women who live in regional and rural areas. I know that women are often the ones who lend a listening ear, put themselves second, lift up those around them when times are tough and bring communities together."

—The Hon. Bronnie Taylor, MLC
