Enterprising women in regional Australia (Still and Simmons, 2005) 17% regional women reported that a key motivation for their start up decision was to bring their experience and qualifications to their community. Their business activities are diverse and often deliver the only service-type functions in small communities.

Women on regional boards Rural and regional bodies % women members % women CEOs Agricultural commodity councils 9 Research & development corporations 16 Rural representative bodies 13 2 Agricultural companies 7 Regional development boards 25 Area consultative committees 28 20 Catchment management authorities 26 15

Women’s absence from formal leadership roles in regional Australia Despite their broad employment experiences, regional women remain ‘invisible’; Their businesses are not valued; They are allowed access to those bodies that are low status and with limited resources;

Conclusion Leadership in regional Australia continues to reinforce the ‘naturalness’ of men in formal positions of authority and women in subordinate positions.
