At She Codes Australia
we... teach technical skills, build career pathways and inspire women to code.

We are not! We’re a completely separate entity, operating only in Australia, with in-person programming. (She Codes Australia = in-person in Australia; shecodes.io is a separate business.)

All of our programs are held in person. If you can keep a secret…. This is what makes us really special. Coding is one thing, but knowing you’ve got a badass group of friends literally and figuratively cheering you on is something totally different. Our cohorts are very intentionally selected to ensure community is at the forefront.

We currently operate regularly in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. All of our events are hosted in person, to get as much value from networking and meeting as many other EPIC humans as possible.

Occasionally we come out to the regions – having previously hosted events in Geraldton, Bunbury, Mandurah, Port Hedland, Karratha, Newman, Albany, Ipswich and Townsville. We’d love to come to a community near you! If you or your business can help make that possible, reach out and have a chat.

Check out our events page on Humanitix. (That’s the most up-to-date list of upcoming workshops and locations).

We work with some AMAZING partners who truly believe in what we describe as a win-win-win partnership. We grow the talent pool of future junior developers, finding their next hire; you get an opportunity to learn (and eat cupcakes); and I get to keep doing this work that I love. Check out our current partners here and go give them some love!

100% YES. We firmly believe that none of this work is possible without allies and advocates. You can help us by joining us as a mentor, telling your business about our work, or shouting from the rooftops about women in tech.

One of our values is that we are female focussed but male friendly. What does that mean in practice? Our workshops are designed for women, but if there are spare spaces – we’re happy for you to join us. The one rule? You have to bring along a woman in your life – your wife, daughter or mum, maybe even grandma. We’ve had some EPIC father-daughter combo’s in the past.

We’ve had ages 7 to 80 join us at our one day workshop before. A couple of times we’ve even had three generations of the same family coding in unison (shout out to Sylvia, Ainsley and Jess if you’re reading this). There is no age limit on potential.

In practical terms, most of our community are aged 25-50 who are interested in career changing or upskilling. We are not a school holiday program or experts in working with children, we specialise in community building and training for early to mid career women. For our workshops, children under 16 need to be accompanied by a legal guardian. For our bootcamp program we can only accept adults.
