This page is managed by the Rural Women’s Network. From meeting at the crossroads with drought-stricken women in 1992, the NSW Rural Women’s Network continues to reflect and improve how we listen to regional, rural and remote women, link them to information and services and create opportunities that build personal and business resilience and strengthen regional, rural and remote communities. You can contact us at [email protected] We’ll do our best to respond to you within 3 business days, however we may take longer during busy periods. We appreciate your patience. As a public service agency, we’re unable to respond to political commentary. Meta remarketing pixels are used to provide advertising relevant to you. You can read more about how we collect and use this information at www.nsw.gov.au/privacy-statement. Social Media Community Guidelines:
Members expect a place that is respectful, reliable, relevant and safe. We may hide or delete posts that moderators consider to be:
• Abusive, offensive or unlawful: Harassment, bullying or provoking other community members, swearing, derogatory language and expression of views that are racist, sexist, homophobic, predatory or sexually explicit are not acceptable.
• Posts we deem to be potentially defamatory or that violate privacy laws will be removed.
• Political in nature: While we welcome the discussion of policies and initiatives, it is not the place to discuss political parties and personalities. As a public service agency, we're apolitical and unable to respond to political commentary.
• Misleading information or misinformation: Information that is false, unfounded or misleading, whether intentional or not, will be removed.
• An infringement of intellectual property rights: Respect and acknowledge original creators when sharing content.
• Promotional: We do not accept advertisements, requests to endorse commercial products or services or soliciting donations.
• Spam or harmful: Copied and pasted, duplicated or off-topic posts will be removed. We do not tolerate posts containing links to harmful or suspicious websites or applications.
• Personal details: As these are public pages, we will remove any posts that contain private information or personal details, such as email addresses or phone numbers.
