Welcome to Second 50
Where women make positive change happen
The Second 50 community is a membership for Australian women aged 45 and over who are motivated to make positive change happen for themselves and others. We gather in a private online member-only community to learn together, support one another and use our collective wisdom to reimagine and act on new possibilities.
Embrace your Second 50 years
As many of us will live into our 90s or even beyond 100, looking ahead we may still have a whole half life to live. We’ve called it our Second 50. Our goal is to make the world better as a result of women from midlife onwards feeling valued and contributing their experience and wisdom in ways that are meaningful, visible and recognised.
Wherever you are on your 'second half' journey, Second 50 women will support you, helping you to navigate and embrace the challenges, opportunities and transitions of your second half years. It’s better together - and we can all have more impact!
We are a changemaking community
Inspiration & connection
Stories are shared and explored through meaningful spaces and forums. Ask and answer questions. Hear from women who've been there before. It's a two-way exchange of knowledge and experience.
Support to move forward
Our coach-led ‘Mapping your Second 50’ program is a unique and powerful way to review your life and chart your future. Support and accountability includes mentoring, meetups and facilitated group discussions.

What members are saying
“Sharing our wisdom and experience with each other for the benefit of others can only lead to great things. By collaborating and exchanging ideas and stories, Second 50 has already made a difference to my life and vision.”
“I walked away feeling clear, enriched, and warmly supported in my chosen purposeful direction. Creating a personal framework for decision making was an exceptionally meaningful and helpful exercise. ”
“The Mapping was powerful, providing a structured timeframe and process to reflect on my life. It helped me consider what I want to take with me and leave behind in my Second 50. And ultimately, what I want to create.”
Think of it as a club for women who give a sh#%! Together, we are helping to rewrite the story for all Australian women.

“Empowering women in the Second 50 community”
In 2023, we spoke with Australian women from midlife onwards about their need for more purpose, fulfillment, connection and contribution - and the systems, responsibilities and other obstacles that get in the way. Our discussion paper, “Empowering Australian women in their Second 50”, includes research as well as profound insights from dozens of interviews. It also lays out why and how the Second 50 community can make the world better because women from midlife onwards feel valued and can contribute their lived experience and wisdom in ways that are meaningful, visible and recognised.
Embrace your Second 50 with us!
We’ll be with you every step of the way.
