ABOUT US
Women in Finance (WIF) is a not-for-profit association, first established in 1996 in Queensland with the purpose of expanding the networking and professional development opportunities for women working in the finance sector.
Since 1996, WIF has expanded chapters to other states and continues to build a strong member base of professional women across finance, banking, wealth management, stock broking, accounting and legal sectors and related industries. With connections to over 500 professionals and expanding membership, WIF Queensland in 2016 continues to command a dominant presence as a premier networking association in the South East Queensland financial sector.
We align ourselves to core values to CONNECT, INSPIRE and EDUCATE both our members and broader community via the quality of events we host. These core principles allow our members to benefit from not only from connection to new and existing industry members as well as opportunities to access a range of speakers and events to challenge and develop on a personal level.
We are also proud members of our community and each year select a charity to which we raise funds through the support of our members and event attendees. All of our fundraising is directed to the chosen charity.
Welcome to Women in Finance Queensland.

CHARITY PARTNER
Right now, over 7,000 young Aussies with high care needs are living in aged care facilities, simply because there are few alternatives. A further 700,000 are living at home with loved ones, often with limited support.
Every young person deserves to live a young life; Youngcare is committed to helping young Aussies with high care needs live a life of choice, independence and dignity.
We are supporting Youngcare so they can continue to:
-
Build more age-appropriate accommodation
-
Provide grants to help keep young people at home and prevent admission into aged care
-
Conduct ongoing research and provide a voice to young people with high care needs
-
Operate the Youngcare Connect phone service, which provides families with much needed information and support.
Together we are working towards a future where no young Aussie has to call aged care home.
Women in Finance select a partner for a duration of two years. Youngcare were selected in May 2015 and we shall be researching a new charity partner in early February 2017. If you would like to submit a proposal for consideration please send your details to theteam@womeninfinance.com.au
