ABOUT US

Our Mission

The Women’s Society’s mission is to improve mental wellbeing and positively connect women by creating safe, welcoming spaces. Through collaboration and inclusive programs, events, and initiatives, we aim to redefine mental health support by reducing isolation and loneliness, and fostering a strong sense of belonging.

Our Vison

We envision a North Queensland where no woman experiences mental distress or isolation without support — and where care begins with meaningful connection and community, not crisis.

As we grow, The Women’s Society is working towards establishing a central hub in North Queensland—a purpose-driven space where women can access support, feel a sense of belonging, and connect with community. Guided by compassion and collaboration, this hub will form part of our long-term strategy to streamline access to services, strengthen local partnerships, and create a welcoming environment where all women feel safe, supported, and informed.

SOCIAL CONNECT

Social Connect is all about creating meaningful connection no matter your age, background, or story. We’re a diverse and welcoming community offering free and low-cost activities designed to help women form meaningful connections. From intimate Q&A sessions to bespoke social events, everything we do is thoughtfully planned to make connection easier, especially for those who may be feeling isolated or overwhelmed. We work closely with local organisations to ensure that women experiencing mental distress feel safe, seen, and welcomed without labels or judgement.

No, it doesn’t cost anything to be a member of The Women’s Society. We strive to keep as many of our events free or low-cost by collaborating with businesses, securing sponsorships, and finding creative ways to make our initiatives accessible to everyone. However, some events may require ticketed entry to cover essential costs. It’s important to note that The Women’s Society is a non-profit and does not generate profit from its members. Instead, we simply ask for support in other ways—whether that’s purchasing merchandise, spreading the word on social media, or making a donation to help us continue our mission.
