THE WOMEN’S COLLEGE
The Women’s College within The University of Queensland provides a supportive and nurturing home-away-from-home for young women who relocate to Brisbane to undertake tertiary studies at their chosen University.
The College’s focus on the academic and personal development needs of each student, along with pastoral care and access to a diverse range of leadership, sporting, cultural, community and social activities, makes Women’s more than just a place to stay. It is a place to celebrate and appreciate the diversity, talents and quirks of the over 260 residents and non-resident associates who call the College ‘home’.
It is an honour to serve as Head of The Women’s College. I, along with my Senior Leadership Team and broader staff, help ensure that living at Women’s is a special experience as you journey through your university studies. You will establish friendships, networks and memories that will last you a lifetime. You will also receive amazing support as you transition from school into your chosen career and become a leader of the future.
Fostering future leaders has not only been a crucial part of our development for over 100 years, but also remains the key focus of the modern Women’s College experience for the future.

Ready to Lead
- Ready to Live
