Free business coaching for aspiring female entrepreneurs

Are you a female entrepreneur with a viable business idea but need support to get your product or service idea off the ground?

The LaunchMe SA program – a partnership between the SA Government and Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand – is helping South Australian women, who might not have the tools or support available, to start and grow their business.

By signing up to the program, women can access:

• Free, one-on-one business coaching for up to 6 months
• Tools and resources for your business to start trading
• Strategies to grow your business
• Skills and knowledge to attract clients
• No interest business loans up to $5,000
• Referrals to Good Shepherd’s Wellbeing Services, including financial counselling
• A network of experts such as business strategists, legal practitioners, and social media consultants.

To be eligible for support, you must have a viable business idea or a newly established microenterprise, live in South Australia and earn $75,000 or less before tax or healthcare or pension card.

The program is currently funded by the State Government through to 30 June 2025.
