THE WOMEN BEHIND
A LITTLE EXTRA

Five years of real rooms, real conversations and a community that keeps showing up for women in business across the South West.

HOW IT STARTED

ONE ROOM IN 2021, AND A HUNCH IT WOULD FILL

Inspire + Collaborate began in 2021 as a collaboration with RRR Network and Community Bank Busselton and Dunsborough. The idea was simple: the women of the South West deserved rooms built for them.

A handful of events between Dunsborough and Busselton grew into signature events, workshops, pop-up networking and lunch and learns. Today it runs independently under Kelly-Ann Bunney, steered by a committee of local women in business.
