Activities

The RRR Network Reference Group

The Reference Group comprises 14 members appointed by the Minister for Regional Development and the Minister for Agriculture and Food from a public application process.

The Reference Group sets the strategic direction of the Network, ensures the Network is on track to meet its charter and achieve its objectives and provides advice and feedback to the Ministers for Regional Development and Agriculture and Food on issues impacting women in RRR WA.

RRR Network Reference Group members provide a broad range of interests, expertise, demographic, background and networking capacity, and members are acutely aware of issues which impact on women. The Reference Group provides an important forum for issues and opportunities affecting RRR women, their families and communities to be communicated to government.
