Please do our survey on service to women!
We’d love your contribution so we can determine what makes good service for women and encourage all businesses to deliver it.
The Chamber of Women in Business (CWB) provides support and development opportunities for businesswomen in the Canberra region. As the only business association focusing on businesswomen’s needs, the Chamber offers members a supportive environment that fosters their business growth.
The Members’ Directory gives you information about businesses owned and operated by Chamber members, giving an Internet presence for members who do not have a web site.
Our Womens’ Business Information Resource, made possible by funding from the ACT Office for Women, offers a myriad of useful sources of information for women to plan, grow and market their businesses in the Australian Capital Territory. You can learn more about what the CWB does, the benefits of membership, who our members are, and our functions, plus find information about establishing and developing a business in the ACT.
