“When I was first contacted about the trial for a pathway to help women in Wodonga obtain their driver’s licenses, I immediately thought of several very worthy participants,” Brett recalls. “With the help of WomenCAN Australia, we provided driving lessons that gave these women the confidence and support they needed. The results were fantastic, with all participants passing their driving tests on their first attempt!”
The impact of these driving lessons goes beyond just a license. For many women, gaining the ability to drive opens new opportunities, increases their independence, and provides a sense of accomplishment. Brett witnessed this transformation firsthand. “The participants I worked with were so appreciative and thankful for the help and support they received from both WomenCAN Australia and myself,” he says. “But what really stood out to me was the satisfaction I got from making such a positive change in their lives—it was priceless.”
This collaboration highlights how partnerships with WomenCAN Australia can create lasting, positive impacts on women’s lives. “I would highly recommend WomenCAN Australia to other host employers or partners. The support they offer is invaluable,” Brett emphasises. “I hope to work with them again in the future, just to be part of making a positive impact in someone’s life.”
We at WomenCAN Australia are incredibly proud to have been a part of this initiative in Wodonga, and we look forward to continuing our work with community partners like Brett Jones. Together, we can empower more women to reach their full potential.
