Amplifying women’s success.
We work towards gender equality, as addressing the disadvantages experienced by women is beneficial to all members of society. Our program tackles the challenges associated with engagement, progression, and retention of female talent in the industry through providing career development resources and mentoring that prepare women for career success, even before graduation.
We empower women to dream and succeed.
Since Dream Big began in 2014, we have established ourselves as a registered charity and non-for-profit leader in engaging and empowering young women from high school to industry. We combine our wealth of cross-industry experience as leaders and change-makers in our fields with our shared commitment to diversity to prepare women for success in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) careers.
Our Vision.
Empowering women to dream and succeed in STEAM careers.
Our Purpose.
Dream Big Australia is committed to enhancing women’s potential and ability to succeed in STEAM careers through world-class development experiences.
For all emerging women.
We advance women's development by providing career-launching programs and promotions for organisations invested in fostering diversity in sustainable talent pipelines. This provides stronger outcomes for organisations, societies, and economies, as well as the female and non-binary students who take part.
Dream Big Australia has made a conscious choice to make our program free for all participants so that students who identify as marginalised, or come from a regional or low socio-economic background are not financially challenged in accessing quality education.
Strategic Goals.
Education
Our development programs provide access for women and non-binary people pursuing careers in STEAM to learning modules and tools that build skills targeted to help new graduates succeed in their careers, alongside industry mentoring opportunities.
Employment
We work with industry to increase the representation of women pursuing careers in STEAM. We do this through supporting inclusive recruitment and retention strategies to attract and retain diverse talent while facilitating regular mentoring that supports women's employment.
Engagement
We promote gender equality through diverse initiatives, including educational programs, communication campaigns, and impact measurement, empowering women to advance and thrive in non-traditional careers.
Empower women today.
By partnering with Dream Big Australia, STEAM organisations gain access to our database of high potential, diverse STEAM students and grads while investing in women’s careers.
