ABOUT US

Welcome to WomenKind Australia, a registered charity, dedicated to inspiring women, fostering inclusive communities, and championing gender equality. Established in 2020, WomenKind is a vibrant and passionate organisation creating brighter futures for women in the Noosa area and beyond.

Our Journey:

Our story began with a vision — to inspire women to reach their full potential in all aspects of life. Recognising the need for a supportive community, we created a space where women could connect, share, and grow together.

What began as a dream has flourished into a dynamic reality, thanks to the vision of our founder, Josanne Falla, and the dedication of our members. WomenKind has become a powerful catalyst for positive change, touching countless lives.

Our Impact:

WomenKind is making a profound impact. 

• Our inaugural Noosa Mayor’s Ball, which raised $280,000 to fund essential counselling services in the Noosa Shire.
• A landmark partnership with the Salvation Army, formalised through a      Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), to build a haven for victims of      domestic violence. This dedicated space will provide crucial shelter and      support for women and children escaping abusive situations, offering them      a pathway to rebuild their lives.
• Supporting Hazara girls in Afghanistan by providing resources and opportunities during their challenging lives due to their oppressive environment while waiting for their Australian visas.

These milestones reflect WomenKind’s unwavering dedication to creating real, lasting change for women and families in need.

At WomenKind, we believe every woman has the potential to lead and inspire. We invite you to join our movement. Together, we can build an inclusive, equitable, and supportive world for all women.

Josanne's passion is to connect, empower, and encourage women from all walks of life to become the best versions of themselves and pursue their dreams. Her dedication has left an indelible mark on the Noosa community, inspiring women to reach for their full potential.

Having set up a 3-hour weekly program called “Celebrating Women” where Josanne met many local inspiring women who told their stories of hardship, pain and passion. Josanne wanted a way to take the women’s stories and capture them in a tangible form. She decided that a book would be a worthy way of showcasing the brilliant women she had met and sharing their stories. This book, “Women Inspired” was created during Covid-19 and is now in its 3rd edition.
