Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) empowers women and welcomes community connection by bringing people together, creating belonging and reducing social isolation. Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank is proud to support QCWA and the impact it has across our region.
QCWA is about local women organising, learning and contributing to causes that strengthen their communities. From fundraising for health initiatives to the recent QCWA NQ Conference held in Sarina, the organisation assists in building leadership skills and ensuring women in regional areas have opportunities to thrive.
Increasingly, QCWA are welcoming new members of all ages and backgrounds, showing that it’s not just a space for long-standing members. More women are recognising the value of connection and bringing fresh ideas and energy to branches across the region.
QCWA Pioneer Division Vice President Deborah McIntyre said QCWA is open to all women, as QCWA recognises the value of connection, learning and shared purpose it provides, which was displayed at the recent conference.
“All our members feel welcome the moment they walk through the door,” Ms McIntyre said.
“It’s not just about learning and developing skillsets, it’s the way being together and sharing experiences builds real connections. The support of Community Bank Sarina means we can continue to build those networks and keep our doors open to all.”
As a profit-for-purpose organisation, Community Bank Sarina is committed to strengthening local organisations and enhancing their capability through collaborative partnership opportunities.
Community Bank Sarina's focus is on encouraging leadership, supporting grassroots groups and creating pathways that strengthen community connection. Without the support of local businesses and active volunteers, community organisations wouldn’t be able to do what they do best – bring a community together.
By supporting organisations like QCWA, Community Bank Sarina ensures the spirit of collaboration, care and community resilience continues to grow across our region.
