As International Women’s Day (IWD) approaches this week, it’s an opportunity to celebrate and support the women in business in our own backyard.
Women account for around one-third of Australia’s small business owners, and that number is growing. Adding so much to our business landscape, women offer fresh ideas and innovation, create new products and services, bring unique skills, and foster inclusive workplaces.
Whether you’re looking for a little retail therapy, gathering school holiday ideas, getting your finances sorted or planning an update to your abode, we have compiled a list of women-owned businesses in the Onkaparinga region. Check out our guide below.
