QBE Foundation partners with Centre for Women’s Economic Safety

The QBE Foundation announced a partnership with the Centre for Women’s Economic Safety to expand financial support services for women experiencing economic abuse across Australia.

The initiative will support the expansion of CWES’s Money Clinics program, which provides free and confidential financial guidance to women, non-binary, and gender diverse people facing or concerned about economic abuse. As part of the partnership, the organizations plan to launch a hybrid model combining virtual and mobile clinics to reach more people in rural and regional communities.

“We are proud to support CWES and the vital work they do to improve economic safety for women. By helping expand the Money Clinics program, we aim to increase access to financial guidance and resources for those facing significant challenges.” – Julie Starley, Co-Chair of the QBE Foundation.

“This partnership is about making support more accessible for women in areas where services can be harder to reach. Through mobile and virtual Money Clinics, CWES will be able to connect with more women in rural and regional areas, providing practical help that can help make a lasting impact on their economic safety.” – Chris Esson, Co-Chair of the QBE Foundation.

“We’re delighted to partner with QBE Foundation in developing this innovative model to support more women across Australia. The research shows us that women in rural and regional areas face higher rates of violence and abuse and greater barriers to support. This investment helps us address that gap and deliver Money Clinics to less well-served areas of Australia.” – Rebecca Glenn, CEO and founder of CWES.
