Why we exist

A network built around connection, growth and leadership.

Insurance in the Hunter is stronger when the women who drive it are connected. HWII brings members together to learn from one another, build genuine professional relationships, and step into leadership.

01

Connect

Meet women across broking, underwriting, claims, risk and support functions at events made for real conversation, not just name badges.

02

Learn

Grow your skills through practical sessions, guest speakers and shared experience from people who know the local market.

03

Lead

Find mentoring, visibility and the confidence to take the next step in your career and in the industry.
