The CBR Gals Network
The CBR Gals Network was founded in 2018 with the aim of fostering connections among Canberra women and gender-diverse individuals, nurturing meaningful relationships within the community. From its inception, the CBR Gals Network has been dedicated to consciously connecting and advancing the diverse members of Canberra’s community.
We strongly encourage members of the LGBTQIA+ community, First Nations peoples, people with disabilities and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to join and contribute to the Network.
Canberra’s #1 way to make connections.
We help women and gender-diverse people  consciously connect advance their businesses.
We host at least one monthly event, offering a variety of activities. Our events are open to women and gender-diverse individuals, with no membership fees, creating safe spaces for people to grow, connect, network, find their humans and learn.

OUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVITY
At the CBR Gals Network, we are dedicated to creating an inclusive and welcoming community for everyone, both on and offline. We strongly encourage members of the LGBTQIA+ community, First Nations peoples, people with disabilities and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to join and contribute to the Network.
We recognise that inclusion is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuous learning and improvement. In the past, we developed a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) to guide our commitment to meaningful engagement with First Nations communities. We are now in the process of finalising our updated RAP to strengthen and deepen this work.
Our Disability Inclusion Action Plan outlines the steps we are taking to ensure our events and initiatives are accessible and empowering for all members of our community.
Together, we strive to build a community that celebrates diversity and fosters meaningful connections for all.
