WomenCAN Australia is a member-based charity linking communities of women to vocational training and on to employment.
About us
WomenCAN Australia was set up in 2019 to help women get skills and jobs, often having been out of the paid workforce for years providing care to others. We do this while providing confidence, connections, and peer support through The Placement Circle, in which women walk side-by-side on their path to financial independence. The genesis of WomenCAN Australia is ingrained unfairness. The barriers of bias and discrimination against women compelled Mikaela Stafrace to set up the organisation after she realised her successful corporate law career had left her needing a fuller sense of purpose. So she quit her job and started helping other women get jobs. WomenCAN Australia is surging. Women, often facing difficult circumstances, get free training and guaranteed work. They ‘earn and learn’ at the same time. Employers get dedicated, reliable, skilled staff. Women needing trades work done get quality, affordable trades work done through our social enterprise. And the economy and communities get stronger. The organisation focusses on aged care, childcare, transport, and trades for the moment. But its close connection to communities means it picks up on what’s happening in the labour market early, and so is well-placed to help Australia’s women help fix Australia’s skills shortage. We have tax-deductible charitable status and are registered with the Australian Charities Not-for-profit Commission, the Australian Taxation Office and Social Traders.

Our WomenCAN Build Creative Lead, Suzanne (left) is enjoying time over Christmas hosting Luna and Ara from Korea. Luna and Ara are working on Suzanne’s organic farm through WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms). They will participate in daily life on Suzanne’s farm while receiving educational opportunities, meals and accommodation during their visit, with no money exchanged between hosts and WWOOFers. WWOOFers learn to grow their own food, help on the farm, and experience a new culture. Here are WomenCAN Australia, our empowerment of women goes beyond the 9 to 5. . . #womencanaustralia #wwoof #wwoofers #empoweringwomen #womensupportingwomen #christmasinaustralia
