Wilderness Collective

The Mallacoota Wilderness Collective Inc. is an impact social enterprise based in Mallacoota, far east Gippsland. We enable people and communities to shape self-determined futures and unlock opportunities to learn, work and build locally. The Collective was started in the aftermath of the Black Summer Bushfires by 5 local women determined to not let disaster define our community’s future. Our work focuses around 4 key pillars: Working & Building Locally; Learning & Capability; Enterprise & Innovation; and Leading & Partnership. www.wildernesscollective.org.au

Remote Microenterprises Australia (RMA) is the Wilderness Collective’s flagship initiative helping women aged 18 and over in remote, rural and regional communities to start, grow, or rejuvenate a microbusiness. RMA is delivered online and uses a range of digital tools, including AI. RMA is delivered as an action-oriented 90-day program, combining live online Masterclasses, peer coaching and co-working sessions, resources as well as a learning and community portal. In 2027, we are expanding the RMA model to a Learning Management System where participants can learn and develop their enterprise at their own pace. www.remotemicro.com.au
