“Over the past two decades, the Rural Women’s Award has provided close to 300 women with the opportunity to achieve positive change for rural and regional Australia and significant professional development opportunities.”
AgriFutures Australia is seeking applications from women with an established project, business or program that is having a positive impact on rural industries, businesses and communities.
“It is an exciting time ahead and the Rural Women’s Award is just one of many AgriFutures Australia initiatives ensuring rural and regional industries prosper now and into the future,” Mr Harvey said.
“As has been the case in previous years, location is a no barrier – applicants can live in rural and regional Australia, or in the city – their applications will be measured on the impact and benefits to rural and regional Australia.”
Each state and territory winner receives a $15,000 bursary provided by platinum sponsor Westpac, to further develop their project, business or program, access professional development opportunities and national alumni networks.
The 2022 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award national winner and runner-up, selected from the state and territory winners and announced at a gala dinner, will receive a further $20,000 and $15,000 respectively.
