OUR COMMUNITY
Women who started exactly where you are.
STAGE 1 · PITCH DAY WINNER
Navila — founder of Batik & Bloom
Navila had long dreamed of starting a culturally inspired skincare business. She had the idea but not the tools. After completing the Business School, she gained the skills, confidence, and network to bring Batik & Bloom to life — and walked away from Pitch Day as third place winner and scholarship recipient.
"Reach Her Inc. didn't just teach me how to pitch — it reminded me that my story matters."
STAGE 1 · PITCH DAY WINNER + SCHOLARSHIP
Mandy Yau — founder, self-irrigating ceramic pots
Mandy joined with a sustainable product idea but was waiting for it to be "perfect." The program helped her see that real-world feedback beats waiting. She won first place at Pitch Day and moved from concept to market stalls within months.
"The program helped me move from idea to action."

QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED
Everything you want to know.
Do I need to already have a business to join?
You need to have a business idea — but it doesn't need to be fully formed. Stage 1 (Basic Business Foundations) is designed for women who have an idea and want to turn it into something real. You don't need an ABN, a website, or any prior business experience. You just need an idea and the commitment to show up.
How do I apply? Is there a cost?
Subsidised — supported by our funding partners. Register your interest below and we'll be in touch when the next cohort opens. Seats are limited.
What is the attendance commitment?
Weekly sessions — Tuesdays for Stage 1, Fridays for Stages 2 and 3. 2 hours each via Zoom. 80% attendance required to graduate, plus attendance at the live Female Founders Pitch Day (Stage 1).
Can I join Stage 2 or 3 without completing Stage 1?
Each stage builds on the last — Stage 2 for BBF graduates, Stage 3 for those with a running business. If you've completed a similar program, mention it when you register and we'll discuss.
What is the Female Founders Pitch Day?
A live in-person event at the end of Stage 1. Pitch to a panel of mentors and community leaders. Compulsory for Stage 1 graduates. Top pitches receive scholarship placements and ongoing support.
Is my English good enough?
Absolutely. Reach Her exists to serve women from CALD backgrounds. Our facilitators are experienced across many language and cultural backgrounds. You belong here exactly as you are.
What's the difference between the Business School and the Wellbeing Program?
The Wellbeing Program requires no application and no business idea. The Business School requires an EOI, runs in cohorts, and has an 80% attendance requirement to graduate.
