Why become a member?

Mirring is a strong Aboriginal Women’s Corporation with 21+ years’ experience in holding Aboriginal cultural education and practice workshops plus Health and Wellbeing gatherings. We have many collaborations and partnerships with Aboriginal women’s groups, corporations, and family groups nationally.

Mirring’s National membership supports our partnerships and our focus on Aboriginal women’s cultural, spiritual and general wellbeing. We are inclusive and supportive of national issues such as Aboriginal family violence and women and children’s safety and hold public summits to address these issue with the direct voices of our women and the support of partnered Aboriginal women’s corporations. Mirring also focuses on family inclusion and celebrates our positive futures with whole of community events such as 5 Lands Walk and Toorongong Gathering on the Central Coast. Membership to Mirring allows free access to our events and camps including no-cost business space access for festivals and events.

Mirring also offers Aboriginal women the opportunity for financial independents through Micro/Small Business development. Mirring holds an annual Women’s Business Development Summit on the Central Coast NSW to provide sound business development knowledges. Each member has the opportunity to highlight their business on the Mirring webpage Women IN Business, a one stop page for the public to view and support Aboriginal business enterprise.
