Jackie Elliott

Jackie Elliott is the founder of Rural Women's Day (IG: @ruralwomensday), a not-for-profit initiative aimed at connecting rural and regional women through community, collaboration and celebration. Jackie developed the initiative after moving to Byaduk, in the Western District of Victoria.

The ‘Rural Women’s Day’ brand grew beyond expectation following the inaugural sell out event held in the Southern Grampians on October 15, 2019.

In 2020 ‘Rural Women’s Day’ published a collaborative keepsake magazine to connect with their community during the pandemic, with 700 copies distributed across Australia & New Zealand and the social media community has grown organically with over 12,000 followers.

Jackie was also the recipient of the 2023 Rural Community Leader of the Year award winner at the Farmer of the year awards.
