About the Event:

This First Nations Women's Gathering in Perth is an inclusive celebration and sharing of First Nations culture for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women and allies.

This special event, hosted by Noongar CCI and First Nations X, is dedicated to celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, and welcoming guests from across the globe, including First Nations delegations from Canada, America, Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia. It will be a space to honor and amplify the voices, achievements, and cultural practices of First Nations women, with a special focus on leadership and business.

Being a ‘Women's Business’ gathering, attendance is for women-only, ensuring the gathering is a sacred space for women to connect, support one another, and share learnings.  It will involve storytelling, sharing of culture, discussing community.

This event welcomes all women who identify as women, as well as non-binary, and promises to be an empowering celebration of culture, connection, and leadership for First Nations women, as well as an opportunity for all attendees to support and learn from the rich wisdom within these communities, where inspiring Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women, along with the international delegations, will share their stories and wisdom in a powerful Yarning Circle.

The Gathering will also celebrate regional women who have successfully completed the 2024 HORIZON Program, offering a platform for commerce, cultural performances, and connection.

Attendees can expect a rich blend of traditional weaving, Indigenous dance, and collaborative arts.
