What is the RIRDC rural Women's Award?
Investing in Australia's future
The RIRDC Rural Women’s Award is Australia’s pre-eminent Award that recognises and encourages rural women’s contribution to primary industries, resource development and rural Australia. While the Award acknowledges past achievements, it is focused on the future and provides rural women with financial and practical support to implement their visions for primary industries and rural Australia, and to enhance their leadership and representative capacities.
The Award provides an amazing opportunity to further your own professional development, to make a tangible difference and to inspire others. You could become one of the seven state and territory winners and go on to become the Australian winner.
But the Award is much more than just winning a title. It is a life changing experience that will open up a positive and powerful network of like-minded women across the country who are passionate about primary industries and rural Australia.
The Award is a RIRDC initiative in partnership with relevant state and territory agencies who manage the Award at a state and territory level. Our national partner is the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. National sponsors are ABC Radio, Rural Press Ltd and Westpac Banking Corporation.
