The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources (DISER) has partnered with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) to develop a new online directory offering information and tools to support women entrepreneurs.

The Expert FindHer Resources Directory addresses some key challenges women experience when engaging in innovative entrepreneurship and growing startup businesses. 

This follows DISER’s 2019 nationwide consultation which revealed challenges including where to access funding and capital; access to information, networks, mentors and support; and lack of confidence.

Resources include a list of relevant programs, funding sources, networks, mentors and tools women can access to help achieve their entrepreneurial goals. 

The list is not exhaustive and will be augmented with new entries as they are discovered. Inclusion in this list does not indicate government endorsement of individual entries. 

The Expert FindHer Resources Directory can be found here.
