What Rural, Regional, Remote Women's Network of WA does

The Rural, Regional, Remote Women's Network of WA (RRR Network) is an Australian non-profit organization founded in 1996 and headquartered in Margaret River, Western Australia. Its stated purpose is to connect and empower women to build strong communities and improve liveability in rural, regional, and remote Western Australia. The organization operates with a small team of approximately 11 employees, governed by a Board of Directors, and reaches an audience of roughly 16,000 social media followers across Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

RRR Network's core product is an annual membership program priced at $55 per year, which provides members with a Network Directory listing for business or profile visibility, regular communications on regional events, leadership opportunities, and access to the network's content platforms. Beyond membership, the organization operates a portfolio of programs: four anchor annual events (AgriFutures Rural Women's Awards, Cultivate, International Day of Rural Women, and the AGM), regional workshops delivered when the team travels out to the regions, a multimedia content stack (blog, podcast, radio partnership with Triple M, quarterly magazine), a job/opportunities board, and an annual research initiative (the RRR Women's Survey Report, with 489 respondents in 2025) supplemented by additional policy publications. Technology infrastructure is limited to a WordPress-based website and login/membership portal; no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, API, or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The business model combines individual membership fees, event and program sponsorship, advertising (a Media Kit 2025 is published), and project-based government and academic funding. Key institutional partners include AgriFutures Australia (hosting of the WA Rural Women's Awards), the WA Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), the WA Department of Communities (which funded the RRR Women's Leadership program), and Curtin University / Curtin Business School (research collaboration). No equity funding, parent company, or venture backing has been disclosed; the organization is membership-led and independent.
