All Hands: Female Freelancer Meetup
A meetup for women freelancers and contractors in Perth’s tech and startup scene. Help us shape what this community becomes!
What this is
A first gathering to validate the idea for All Hands - a community for women who see themselves as operators: embedded in teams, executing and building real outcomes. We want to keep this intimate, practical and welcoming.
Who are the hosts?!
All Hands started as a conversation between Grace and Katie - two Perth-based freelancers who reconnected after working in Sydney and Melbourne and realised something was missing here at home for female operators: community.
We’re both operators at heart - embedded in teams and navigating the ups and downs of freelancing in tech and startups. This first meetup is our way of finding others like us - women who are building, experimenting and growing their own paths, but don’t always have a peer group who gets it.
Who it’s for
Women freelancing or contracting in tech/startups (marketing, product, data, design, engineering, ops, CX, etc.)
'Operators' who don’t necessarily identify as founders or small-biz owners
Freelance-curious remote workers are welcome too
What to expect
Welcome drink (included)
Light intros (no awkward icebreakers, promise)
New connections
Why come
Find your people in Perth’s ecosystem
Trade tips (rates, scope, systems, pipeline)

Help co-create what All Hands becomes (coworking? knowledge sessions? monthly catch-ups?)
