  • Apr 2010 - Present

  Starwin was founded in Darwin in April 2010, and our vision is to create social change by providing career pathways for women to do what they love, where they love. We have worked with over 80 community organisations to provide consultancy services with the goal to do business better. In turn, this has led to providing programs and opportunities for hundreds of young people to develop as leaders. In 2019 we transitioned to our MK Eco by Starwin model and have grown our presence across the tropical north, now being co-located in Darwin and the Daintree. Our spaces support a large number of local Makers + Kreators, to showcase their corporate and cultural gifts for locals and visitors to the tropical north. We also offer custom workshops cultural tour experiences and corporate gift packages. Our vision is to create a Made with Kindness Economy and each year we pay it forward with our Each One, Teach One Career Mentoring program, our Higher Attire for Young Stars project and other local initiatives.If you are seeking a consultant for community change and corporate leadership, or wish to collaborate for your next event in the top end, connect @ www.starwin.com.au
