Chiou See Anderson is an entrepreneur, community leader and recognised

advocate for women’s economic inclusion. Arriving in Australia as a young

migrant, she experienced first-hand the challenges of navigating education,

employment and financial independence in a new country. These formative

experiences inform her lifelong commitment to ensuring that all women,

particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD)

backgrounds, have equitable access to opportunity, security and voice.

At our IWD event, Chiou See will share insights from her lived experience,

business leadership and national advocacy, offering practical solutions

for strengthening economic empowerment, equity and inclusion.

This event is the first of its kind on the Gold Coast, celebrating the

achievements of multicultural women and raising funds for

MFO programs that support CALD women through education,

mentoring and entrepreneurship.

Chiou See Anderson is the Founder of Elements Retirement Living

and Chair of Conpago, and the Immediate Past President of both the

National Council of Women of Queensland and the National Council of

Women of Australia. She has represented Queensland and CALD women

on the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Women’s Economic Equality

Taskforce and currently serves as Australia’s Head of Delegation

to the G20 Women 20 (W20).
