Applications are now open for the Rural Women’s Award, which recognises, celebrates, and acknowledges exceptional rural women.
The Hodgman Liberal Government recognises the vital contribution women make to rural industries and communities, and is proud to support the award in partnership with the other major sponsors.
The 2019 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award provides a platform to inspire and support Australian women to use their talents and abilities to benefit rural and regional businesses, industries and communities.
I would like to encourage emerging female leaders who want to innovate, develop, and strengthen Tasmania’s primary industries and rural communities to apply.
The contribution women make to Australia’s rural industries and regional communities is a vital one and the award provides rural women with financial and practical support to implement their visions for primary industries and rural Australia.
The winner of the Rural Women’s Award for Tasmania in 2018, and National Finalist Allison Clark was able to launch a research project looking at how literacy and numeracy barriers impact on a businesses ability to innovate and grow.
