The Future of Leadership Starts Here.

About the IWPP Experience

IWPP is a culturally grounded, professionally rigorous development program created specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women navigating Western, corporate, mining, government, and male‑dominated workplaces.

It recognises a simple truth:

Indigenous women already hold deep leadership capability — the challenge is being supported, seen, and valued in systems that were not designed with us in mind.

IWPP bridges this gap by strengthening:

confidence and self‑belief
professional identity and presence
communication and relationship‑building
career navigation and decision‑making
cultural safety, pride, and integrity at work
