Dress for Success Sydney

About

Established in 2009, Dress for Success Sydney (DFSS) aims to increase the employability of women by eradicating the physical and mental barriers that prevent women from securing employment. Our free services are designed to level the playing field for women experiencing varying degrees of poverty, hardship, abuse, or disadvantage and offers innovative, practical, and holistic support that goes over and beyond generalist employment service provision. DFSS empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional clothing, and career development tools to help women of all ages thrive in work and life.

For the past nine months our volunteer facilitators have been delivering our workshops series, mock interview and our resume drafting support services online and we have had record numbers of participants, In September 2019 145 women participated in our career support service, in September 2020, 308 women had participated in the program – a 113 per cent increase. Our online services have meant we have been able to widen our reach and support more women who are financially struggling and need to get back into the workforce.
