Women’s Wealth Pathways Coming to Bundaberg
Wide Bay Kids is excited to announce that we have secured funding through the Queensland Government’s Empowering Queensland Women Grants Program to deliver Women’s Wealth Pathways, a new initiative that will support women to build financial confidence, strengthen their economic security and connect with other women in the Bundaberg region. The free program will commence in October 2026 and will consist of a series of practical, interactive workshops designed to provide women with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed financial decisions and plan for their future.

What is Women’s Wealth Pathways?
Women’s Wealth Pathways is about more than money. It’s about giving women the tools, knowledge and support to feel confident managing their finances, planning ahead and exploring opportunities that improve their financial wellbeing. The program aims to:
• Increase financial literacy and confidence to manage money and make informed financial decisions.
• Improve understanding of superannuation, investing and long-term wealth-building strategies.
• Increase awareness of employment, business and income-generating opportunities.
• Strengthen social connection and peer support networks.
Participants will receive a practical financial workbook and action plan to help put their learning into practice, along with the opportunity to attend a follow-up accountability session. To make the program as accessible as possible travel support with in-person and online participation options available.
Help Us Design the Program
While funding has been secured, the program itself is still being shaped and we’d love your input.
Rather than deciding the workshop topics for you, we’re inviting women from across the Bundaberg region to tell us what they would find most valuable.
What financial topics have you always wanted to understand?
Would you prefer workshops, guest speakers, panel discussions, question and answer sessions or hands-on activities?
What would make you feel comfortable attending?
Your feedback will help us design a program that reflects the interests and needs of local women.
