Why you will love joining us
Joining OWNQ is not just about being part of an organisation; it is about enriching your life in meaningful ways. Here is why connecting with others through OWNQ can make a real difference for your wellbeing.
Boost your mental health
Spending time with friends and family is a fantastic way to lift your spirits and ease stress. With a supportive community around you, those tough times feel a little less tough.
Get healthier, stay active
Strong social ties are not just good for the soul- they are great for your body too! Being part of a vibrant community is linked to better health, fewer chronic conditions, and even a longer life. Plus, it is a fun way to stay active!
Find your tribe amongst us
There is nothing like the feeling of belonging. Being part of OWNQ gives you a sense of identity and purpose. It is about being part of something bigger, and that is incredibly rewarding.
Keep your mind sharp
Socialising is like a workout for your brain! Staying engaged with others helps keep your mind active and reduces the risk of cognitive decline as we age.
Add more joy to your life
Meaningful connections bring happiness and satisfaction. Whether you are sharing a laugh, a story, or even a challenge, these relationships add richness and joy to every day.

OWNQ supporting women
What our members say
We filmed some of our members to capture in their own words what OWNQ means to them and how their lives have changed since becoming part of our organisation. This short video is testament to the welcoming spaces our branches create for women to develop meaningful community connections and friendships, stay informed and be heard. We appreciate our members from the Bribie Island, Capalaba, Ipswich and Mitchelton branches for sharing their stories. Thank you to the Qld Government for their support in funding the creation of the video.
