Who we are

Business Chicks a national community enriching the lives of women in business.

We connect and enrich the lives of Australian business women through our national events program, fundraising efforts, Latte magazine, strategic partnerships and other initiatives.

We're working towards our vision of having 250,000 members in our Business Chicks community by 2015. Join us today and benefit by being part of Australia's largest community for women in business!

Our community is made up of women working in a variety of organisations - from small & medium-sized businesses through to large multinational corporations, as well as savvy female entrepreneurs running their own show. There are women from all industries and levels of expertise, ranging in age from 18 - 65!

If you've never been to a Business Chicks event before, why not start with our Business Chicks Breakfast, held three times a year. An uplifting and high-energy morning, our breakfasts are a great opportunity to entertain clients and staff, who'll all enjoy hearing from our inspirational guest speaker, walk away with a big gift bag (often valued at over $200) and have the chance to win amazing prizes on the day.

Or, if breakfast sounds too early, perhaps our lunchtime event, Lunch and Learn, would be more your style. Come along and enjoy a two-course lunch with wine, meet a room full of spirited women and learn from the experiences of successful business women or those who've overcome adversity to achieve greatness. You'll walk away feeling re-energised and ready to spring into action!

If pure networking is what you're after then Musical Chairs Speed Networking might be your thing. We know that turning up to a 'networking function' on your own can be daunting. So we've turned it into a game to make it relaxed and enjoyable for everyone. Musical Chairs offers you the chance to grow your network, find new clients, and have a great night out with other friendly, ambitious business women.

More about the Business Chicks Community

The Business Chicks community is inclusive and welcoming, offering a place where you can be yourself, feel at home, have fun, learn something, meet exciting people and enjoy amazing experiences.  It offers you the opportunity to develop your skills, gain inspiration, meet people who can help you in your journey, and it’s your chance to give something back.

You'll find the people are different at Business Chicks. We believe in sharing – ideas, knowledge, experiences and skills. We believe in empowering women and supporting each other in the various roles we play. There’s no competitiveness around here – we encourage one another and strive to be the best we can be. We’re playful and fun – we strive for excellence and achievement in everything we do but don’t take ourselves too seriously.

If this sounds like you, then we'd love you to join up!
