Rural Women's Network

Rural Women's Network

The Rural Women's Network (RWN) is a state-wide government program within the Department of Primary Industries (part of Trade & Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services).

The RWN works in innovative ways to share information and promote action on rural women's issues, often in partnership with individuals, groups and non-government and government agencies. More about us.

The Rural Women's Network offers a FREE email subscription list to anyone wanting to receive regular items of interest relevant to the rural sector. It is as simple as completing the on-line form with your name and email address.
