About Her Futures Foundation.

The seed of the Her Futures Foundation started growing in 2020 when Real Futures partnered with UN Women to create a groundbreaking pilot program called Women’s Business 2nd Chance (WB2C). The pilot was an incredible success and highlighted the deep need for culturally-led, one-on-one education, employment and wellbeing support for First Nations Women in Sydney and across Australia.

Established in March 2023, the Her Futures Foundation is dedicated to empowering First Nations women across Australia through employment, education, enterprise, and cultural and social support.

Operating initially in New South Wales and Western Australia, the Her Futures Foundation provide culturally safe spaces through our Women’s Business 2nd Chance (WB2C) hubs, offering vital support including employment training, mentoring, and job-readiness programs.

Empowerment Through Action.

Our mission is to provide safe spaces, meaningful programs, and lasting pathways to education, employment, enterprise, and wellbeing. Every action we take is guided by culture, community, and the belief in women’s strength and resilience.

A Future Without Barriers.

We envision a world where First Nations women can live with strength, pride, and opportunity. A future where cultural heritage is celebrated, voices are heard, and women are leaders in their communities and beyond.
