We are
Fierce Females
A Gold Coast Women’s Self Defence and Empowerment Charity
Our Vision
We empower by providing the knowledge and tools needed to discover a sense of self-agency and live a life free from violence.
Created by women for women. Our hope-focused, person-centred, multi-modal approach ensures we serve our clients with the utmost compassion and passion.
What Does It Mean To Be FIERCE?
Fearless
'Real' fearlessness isn't the absence of fear or avoiding feeling afraid. It is when we embrace and function with fear instead of aspiring to overcome it.
Independent
Irrespective of the fulfilling relationships around us, the relationship with yourself, your self-agency and your self-determination is a sense no one can take away from you.
Ethical
It is crucial to strive to behave in a way that avoids (where possible) activities that negatively impact the well-being of anyone, including yourself!
Resilient
Withstanding adversity, overcoming challenges, ethical behaviours and our spirit to 'bounce back' enables us to react, recover and respect ourselves.
Courageous
Courage is the ability to act on one's ethical beliefs despite potential danger or disapproval.

Empowered
Empowerment happens when all of the FIERCE elements come together for our self-worth and wellness.
What We Do
At Fierce Females, we offer a wide range of multi-modal public and private services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our community. Our primary focus is to provide self-empowerment and defence training for women to discover a sense of self-agency and live a life free from violence.
We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver trauma-informed, person-centred and hope-focused self-empowerment and defence programs, workshops, and one-on-one sessions for women in the community. We have a collaborative relationship with the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and frequently assist victims of crime, especially those who are victims of domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA), to regain their confidence and safety.
How We Teach Women Self-Empowerment & Defence
Our workshops and programs are designed by highly trained instructors to equip women with the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to navigate challenging situations in a safe and supportive environment. No situation is ever the same, which is why we teach self-empowerment and defence techniques that can safely remove women from any challenging or violent situation.
We also recognise that each woman's journey is unique, and we tailor our instruction accordingly. Our curriculum goes beyond physical techniques, encompassing self-empowerment strategies and awareness-building exercises tailored to the person. We emphasise the importance of understanding personal boundaries, assertiveness training, effective communication, and de-escalation techniques.
Through our hope-focused and person-centred approach to teaching women self-empowerment and defence, we strive to cultivate a lasting impact. This is why we’re heavily involved in the community, extending our programs and workshops to schools and universities, corporations, and NGOs.
