The Cairns women's luncheon has become a highlight of the year, providing a dedicated space for women across all sectors of construction to come together, share experiences and build lasting professional relationships.

This luncheon is designed for everyone from tradeswomen and builders to suppliers and interior designers. Whether you operate a small family business or work within a large-scale commercial firm, you play a vital role in our industry, and this event is our opportunity to celebrate that contribution.

Our goal is to foster a supportive network that not only recognises the talent currently in the field but also inspires the next generation of women to join the building and construction trade. By attending, you are helping to elevate the profile of women in our region and promote a standard of excellence across the industry.

We invite you to secure your seat early for what promises to be an afternoon of meaningful connection and professional growth. We look forward to seeing the Cairns building community come together once again for this inspiring event.
