‘Rural Women’s Day’ is a registered not-for-profit enterprise led by Founder, Event & Project Manager, Jackie Elliott, to connect rural and regional women through Community, Collaboration and Celebration.

The ‘Rural Women’s Day’ brand grew beyond expectation following the inaugural sell out event held in the Southern Grampians on October 15, 2019.

In 2020 ‘Rural Women’s Day’ published a collaborative keepsake magazine to connect with their community during the pandemic, with 700 copies distributed across Australia & New Zealand and the social media community has grown organically with over 12,000 followers.

‘Rural Women’s Day’ now offers a platform to support and encourage events hosted in regional communities to connect and celebrate rural women.

Do you have an idea or collaboration in mind to connect with rural women in your community? Get in touch, we would love to hear from you!

    “It was so lovely to meet all the creatives that you chat to on Instagram and Facebook. Life can get very busy and we all like to try and meet one another, so this was a perfect excuse to get into gear and meet everyone. The event was great and filled with a range of topics and emotions of high and lows, which is what we all go through in life and life on the land.”
