What the people we work with say

"I couldn't believe it when I passed my test. The support from WomenCAN Australia and Dysons made the journey possible,"

Our difference: Peer-led support

WomenCAN Australia is immensely proud of its unique peer support initiative,

The Placement Circle, which is based on more than 40 years of research.

The Placement Circle is women striding the path to financial independence side by side.

"Being part of The Placement Circle has provided me with a safe space to express my inner thoughts and struggles without judgement, and has helped me to become more mindful of the feelings and points of view of others. The support, encouragement, praise, and advocacy offered by the group has been invaluable."

Need a

Tradeswoman?

WomenCAN Australia does even more than provide free training and education and guaranteed jobs. We run own social enterprise of dozens of talented tradeswomen.

Dozens of tradeswomen, cleaners, and gardeners deliver services by women for women in their homes.

"WomenCAN Australia supplies female trades people to support women in unstable environments and circumstances in which they don’t feel safe having male tradespeople in their homes."
