Frequently Asked Questions

 What is Mums in Biz?

Mums in Biz is a local business community for mums in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne who want connection, visibility and support while growing their business. It’s built around real mum life — not hustle culture or awkward networking.


Who is Mums in Biz for?

Mums in Biz is for:

  • mums running a business (full-time, part-time or side hustle)

  • mums who value community as much as growth

  • mums wanting local visibility and genuine relationships

  • mums who don’t want to do business alone anymore

You don’t need to be “established” — just willing to show up and connect.


Do I need to live in the Eastern Suburbs?

Yes — this community is intentionally local.
Mums in Biz is designed for mums who live or work in the Eastern Suburbs and surrounding areas, so connections turn into real relationships, referrals and collaborations.


Is this an online or in-person community?

Both.

You’ll have access to:

  • an online community and resources

  • monthly Zoom sessions (depending on your tier)

  • regular in-person lunches and events in Lilydale

Real connection happens when we’re in the same room — and that’s a big part of what makes this different.


I don’t love networking… is this still for me?

Absolutely.

This isn’t traditional networking.
There’s no cold pitching, no pressure and no awkward small talk.

Mums in Biz is about:

  • conversations, not sales

  • relationships, not business cards

  • support, not comparison

If you’ve avoided networking in the past — this will feel different.


What kind of businesses can join?

All kinds.

Service-based businesses, product-based businesses, creatives, freelancers, coaches, trades, side hustles and passion projects are all welcome.

If you’re a mum building something of your own — you belong here.


How much time do I need to commit?

That’s up to you.

Each tier offers a different level of involvement:

  • Connector is low-commitment and flexible

  • Growth Crew offers regular touchpoints and support

  • Founders Table is more hands-on and high-support

You choose what works for your season of life.


Are places limited?

Yes.

Some tiers have limited spaces, and the Founders Table is capped at just 6 mums to keep it intentional and supportive.

Once spots are filled, they close.


Can I upgrade my membership later?

Yes — if space allows.

Many mums start in one tier and upgrade as their business grows or their needs change.


How do I join?

You can join directly via the sign-up link on this page.
Once you’re in, you’ll receive onboarding details and next steps via email.


Still not sure?

If you’re feeling the pull but have questions, that’s a good sign.

Mums in Biz isn’t about doing more —
it’s about growing your business with support, connection and ease.

Learn about our Founder, Erin Bourke

Our founder and CEO, Erin Bourke had a vision for a centre for Mums to be able to come and talk, connect and get inspired. When she had her first baby in 2016 she didn’t have many friends who had babies and it took her creating her own support groups to find her ‘village’. 

She is passionate about creating a welcoming space for parents (particularly Mums) to make friends and have open conversations about the challenges of parenthood while they can also relax a little while the kids play, knowing they are safe and stimulated.

Erin is now a Mum of 4 and runs the Hub, supports women through her mentoring and has her own podcast called ‘Married to the Job’
