About HER
At HER Wollongong, we believe every woman deserves a place where she feels welcome, valued and that she truly belongs.
Â
We're creating opportunities for women across Wollongong and the Illawarra to build friendships, discover new experiences and connect through social gatherings, local experiences and shared moments.
Â
Whether you're new to the area, looking to expand your social circle, navigating a new chapter in life, or simply wanting to spend time with like-minded women, HER Wollongong is a community where connection comes naturally.
Â
Our Story
Â
HER Wollongong was founded by Joanne Michelle after returning home to Wollongong following more than 30 years living in Sydney and Canberra.
Â
Like many women, Jo knows what it feels like to start a new chapter and realise that making new friendships as an adult isn't always easy.
Â
HER began with a simple belief:
Â
Life feels better when we have good people around us.
Â
Jo brings years of experience bringing people together, creating events and supporting women - but HER grew from something much simpler: wanting to create the kind of community she was looking for herself.
Our mission
To create a welcoming community where women can meet new people, build friendships and feel part of something special
