Inspiring Women In Isaac The 2023 Award Winners

Seven communities came together throughout March to recognise and celebrate the powerhouse women in the Isaac region.

Nominees included local female role models and leaders, as well as being mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives and daughters.

The theme for Queensland Women's Week 2023, held from March 5 to 12, was Empower her voice; secure her future.

The theme is a celebration of women and girls who have stood up to be heard and acknowledges the fundamental right of every woman and girl to equally participate and be safe in all areas of society.
