CWA of NSW - Griffith Branch

CWA of NSW - Griffith Branch The CWA of NSW Griffith Branch is a voluntary non profit organisation providing a platform and forum for all women within the Griffith City Council area.

We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 6.30pm in our rooms at 129 Banna Avenue. GRIFFITH BRANCH:
Members are dedicated to improving conditions and the welfare of rural women and their families. members are actively involved in Agriculture & Environment, Cultural, International, Land Cookery and Handcrafts at branch, group and state level. The Country Women's Association is non-sectarian and

non-party-political; and Griffith Branch welcomes members of all ages. THE COUNTRY WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF NSW:
The CWA of NSW was formed in 1922 when country women were fighting isolation and a lack of health facilities. Within the first year, the Association was a unified, resourceful group that was going from strength to strength. The members worked tirelessly to set up baby health care centres, fund bush nurses, build and staff maternity wards, hospitals, schools, rest homes, seaside and mountain holiday cottages - and much more. The women of the CWA have been initiators, fighters and lobbyists. They have made localities into communities by providing social activities and educational, recreational and medical facilities. The aims of the CWA of NSW are:
(a) To bring all women and families together and form a network of support. (b) To provide a forum for the voice of all women in New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory. (c) To improve conditions and welfare of all women and families especially in country areas. (d) To support schemes which enhance the value of country living, especially health and educational facilities. (e) To encourage development in regional areas and to increase the viability of rural communities and the environment. (f) To provide a voice to Government at all levels. (g) To promote International goodwill friendship understanding and tolerance between all people.

More than 50 policy motions are up for discussion at our upcoming State Conference. These have come from members in our local branches across NSW and the ACT.

“...rural and regional communities have to be even louder in our calls for a fair share of services and resources, and our Association is committed to being at the forefront of that advocacy,” State President, Tanya Jolly said.
