Professional Migrant Women Group

Professional Migrant Women Group At the PMW Group we aim to close the gap between migration and professional employment for women. We Our mission is to change that.

Professional Migrant Women (PMW) is an organisation that aims to maximise the potential and contribution of professional migrant women through meaningful employment. We provide a supportive community, access to professional networks and opportunities for professional development. Professional migrant women face many challenges when it comes to entering the workforce. From family responsibilities,

social isolation, lack of understanding of the Australian job market, lack of personal support and lack of professional networks, finding a job is not an easy task. Through a combination of connection, professional development, mentoring, and visibility opportunities, PMW provides migrant women with the tools, networks, and support needed to build confidence, grow their careers, and lead with impact. Our core offerings include:

- The PMW Level Up Platform: An all-in-one digital space to access events, mentoring, peer support, and more
- Monthly online sessions: From masterclasses to our signature "In Conversations With..." series
- Connection Circles Meetups: In-person meetups across Australia to foster the local community
- Mentor Zone: One-on-one access to professional mentors across industries
- Visibility pathways: Speaker opportunities, blog features, and community leadership roles

We’ve built a community of thousands of migrant women who are not just navigating the system, they are reshaping it. Whether you're a migrant woman looking for community, a professional ready to give back, or a partner who believes in equity and representation, you are welcome here!

Starting over in a new country can make you question your experience, your confidence, and even your place in the room.

Building a strong professional network isn't about collecting business cards or adding people on LinkedIn.

It's about building genuine relationships with people who can challenge you, support you, and open doors along the way. 🔥

For many migrant women, one of the biggest assets we bring is our ability to build connections across cultures, industries, and communities. The question is: how do we turn those connections into opportunities that support our career goals?

In this PMW Masterclass, Shazya Khan will share practical strategies to help you network with confidence, authenticity, and purpose.

This isn't about "selling yourself."

It's about building the kind of professional relationships that help you learn, grow, and thrive.

🧡 And if you're joining us at the She-Suite Gala, consider this your networking warm-up. The stronger your approach to building connections, the more you'll get out of being in a room full of incredible women leaders!

At the She-Suite Gala, you’ll have the opportunity to sit with C-Suite Executives, hear honest conversations about leadership and career growth, and connect with women across industries who understand the realities of building a career in a new country.

Expect meaningful conversations, leadership insights, elegant dining, and the kind of connections that stay with you long after the night ends.

Ever walked away from a networking event wondering… now what?

Because the truth is: meaningful professional relationships don’t happen by simply collecting LinkedIn connections. They’re built through confidence, intentionality, and genuine connection over time.

In this PMW Masterclass, Shazya Khan will share practical strategies to help you turn networking into real career opportunities.

Together, we’ll explore how to:
🔥 Build authentic professional relationships
🔥 Network with intention and confidence
🔥 Strengthen your professional presence
🔥 Create connections that support long-term career growth

If networking has ever felt awkward, transactional, or overwhelming, this session is for you!

And honestly? This might be the perfect session to attend before our She-Suite Gala 👀

Because powerful rooms are only as valuable as the connections you build inside them.
