Welcome to our community!

Empower women, change lives.

This International Women’s Day, our Empower Every Step campaign highlights the transformative journey of women working toward financial independence. With your support, we can provide the tools, resources, and encouragement women need to succeed.

For the women we support, every step forward is monumental.

Every woman deserves the chance to step confidently into a brighter future. At Dress for Success NSW & ACT, we provide free professional styling and clothing, career support, and job readiness programs to empower women as they overcome barriers to employment.

A professional outfit can unlock confidence, a one-on-one career support session can open doors, and job-readiness programs can create new opportunities. With your help, we can empower more women across NSW & ACT to take these crucial steps towards employment and financial independence.

Get Involved

With branches in Sydney, Illawarra and Newcastle-Hunter, and soon in Penrith; each year Dress for Success NSW & ACT supports more than 3,000 women into employment across New South Wales. Our signature Styling service and suite of Career Support offerings aim to help women overcome bias and discrimination when entering or re-entering the workforce - at no cost to the women needing our services.

Here, you’ll find ways to support our life-changing services and programs; donate to empower a woman, buy tickets to our upcoming pop-up fashion sales and events, host a fundraiser or clothing drive, and share our campaigns.
