Rural Women's Network

Rural Women's Network

The Rural Women's Network (RWN) is a state-wide government program within the NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI).

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 interested in receiving 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.
