The QLD Indigenous Women Rangers Network was formed in 2018 with 34 members. We now have 197 members with 33 Senior Rangers and Coordinators across the state of QLD from the Lake Eyre Basin to the Torres Strait Islands.

My team and I hold the QLD Indigenous Women Ranger Network forums twice a year. The forums provide a space for women rangers to talk, connect and learn new skills. With a strong focus on support, networking, health and wellbeing, community led projects, mentoring and training, the network fosters empowerment and collaboration.

 

We want to provide more opportunities for the Indigenous Women Rangers for the amazing work that they do on country, as role models and leaders in their field. Over the last five years we have demonstrated that 

• Increasing a woman’s ability to participate in environmental protection creates a win-win for nature and for community.

• Empowering women with technologies redefines what a female ranger can do and amplifies the scale and breadth of a rangers’ impact.

• Indigenous women want to be a generation of action and of hope, recognized as strong women on country. They are in the best place to drive change and move us forward creating a positive future, protecting cultural values and looking after our land and sea country in the process.
