ABOUT US

Working Women's Centres are not-for-profit, community organisations that support women employees or women who wish to work, whatever their age, ethnicity or work status, by providing a free and confidential service on work related issues. We work primarily with women who are not represented by a union, their own lawyer or other advocate.

Our objective is to increase women's participation in and contribution to workplace arrangements that improve their income and conditions, including women who work in precarious and/or low status employment; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women; women from non English speaking backgrounds; women in regional or remote areas; women with disabilities and women with family responsibilities.

We:

• Provide information, advice and support to women on work issues
• Initiate and implement training programs on working women's issues
• Respond to specific issues related to cultural diversity in the workplace
• Develop resources on issues facing women in the workforce
• Work with unions in their efforts to gain true equality for women members
• Encourage women to take an active part in their union
• Actively promote equal employment opportunity for women through policy development, committees and campaigns
• Refer you to other people if we can't help you.
