BRINGING WOMEN IN BUSINESS TOGETHER

Supportive business networking events for women in Melbourne and across Australia

Welcome to Brava, where we cheer your business successes and help you over the bumps.

We are a strong community of diverse but likeminded women who understand the juggle and stresses of running our own businesses. We believe that genuine connections lead to genuine business, so the focus is always on getting to know each other.

We know you have a lot of demands on your time, and it can be hard to find the right balance in a networking group. Brava offers scheduled online networking events for women across Australia, as well as fabulous face-to-face events in Chadstone, Brighton, and across Melbourne. 

If you’ve never been to a networking event and the idea of introducing yourself gives you the cold sweats, that’s OK. Or if you know who your ideal client is and your contacts list reads like an encyclopedia, that’s great too. You’re invited to show up as you are.

No forced referrals. No fakery. No competition or showing off. Just simple support, helping and encouraging other women on the next step of their business journey - whatever that might be.

“I have been attending Dhea’s events for 8 years now. I have loved the format, the networking, connections and business that has transpired. Dhea is generous, collaborative and offers a warm nurturing hub for heart centered entrepreneurs. She is known as the “Queen of Networking”. She has a flare for connecting the right people in the right spaces. The connections are deep and supportive. When women support women, the whole world becomes better. Dhea provides an exceptional platform for business and community who prosper together.”
