The Rural Women's Award is Australia's leading Award empowering and celebrating the inclusive and courageous leadership of women involved in Australia's rural and emerging industries, businesses, and communities.
The AgriFutures Rural Women's Award has a revised and tightened criteria for 2022 which requires applicants to have an existing project, business or program which falls into a Community, Collaboration or Commercial category.
Each state and territory winner receives a $15,000 bursary provided by Westpac, as well as access to professional development opportunities and national Alumni networks.
The AgriFutures Rural Women's Acceleration Grant is a new program developed to foster growth and development in women involved in Australia's rural and emerging industries, businesses and communities.
It will run separately to the Rural Women's Award, however it will complement the process, aiming to provide a leadership and development opportunity to women who are not quite ready to apply for the Award. Seven Australian women per annum will be granted with a learning and development bursary of $7,000 to enable them to bring their idea, cause or vision to life.
Applications for both the AgriFutures Rural Women's Award and the new AgriFutures Rural Women's Acceleration Grant are now open and close on Friday, October, 8, 2021.
