Empowering Women in Credit Risk and Collections:
Our Vision for a Stronger Future
Women in Credit Risk and Collections (WiCRC) is a dynamic membership association dedicated to enhancing the visibility and influence of women in Credit Risk and Collections roles across various sectors, including banking, finance, utilities, and fintech. Our members represent a broad spectrum of the industry, from major banks to professional services and regulators. WiCRC serves as a hub for collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge-sharing, all aimed at fostering transformative change and empowering women in Credit Risk, Collections, data, analytics, and technology.
Despite the unique challenges women face in the professional world, like wage disparities and underrepresentation in leadership, we continuously rise, bringing invaluable perspectives and resilience to the forefront.
In this shared vision, we forge a pathway towards a stronger, more resilient credit industry in Australia, powered by the collective passion, expertise, and dedication of women in credit risk and collections. Together, we embrace challenges, create opportunities, and inspire a legacy of success that resonates for generations to come. We believe having more female voices at the table, we can influence not just our working environment but the policies and decisions that impact every Australian (especially women, families and the vulnerable).
In our vision, we see a community that:

Amplifies Diversity and Inclusion
Valuing the depth of diversity, we're dedicated to forging an inclusive space that invites women (whether identifying as female or non-binary) from varied backgrounds and life journeys.
