Our story

Empowering Melbourne Women,
One Connection at a Time.

For over a decade, GMABS has been more than just a digital space — it has been a thriving ecosystem for over 9,500 Melbourne women and female entrepreneurs.

The heart of our community

From a small circle to a powerful network.

What started as a small circle has grown into a powerful network where local women come to share resources, find support, and grow their dreams.

Every recommendation, referral and review carries the weight of a community that genuinely shows up for one another — online and IRL.

Our mission

The power of the “Collective Melbourne Woman.”

Our mission is to foster a space where small business owners, busy mums, and dynamic leaders can cut through the noise.

We prioritise authentic connection over traditional advertising, ensuring that every recommendation in our group is one of quality and trust.

A track record of impact

We don’t just talk about community. We build it.

To date, our group has reached milestones that prove what’s possible when Melbourne women unite.

9,500+ Active members

Built entirely on organic word-of-mouth and trusted referrals.

$50,000+ Raised for charity

Our philanthropic initiatives have supported various local and national causes — proving that when Melbourne women unite, we make a tangible difference.

10+ yrs Small business expertise

With a deep understanding of the “juggling act” faced by modern women, we provide tailored opportunities for female-led brands to showcase their work to a highly engaged, local audience.
