Australian Women's Register

The National Council of Women of Australia was founded in 1931, with Ivy Moss as President, to act is an umbrella organisation for the existing National Councils of Women in each state. The first of these, the National Council of Women of New South Wales, had been formed in 1896. Like all National Councils of Women, it functions as a political lobby group, attempting to influence local, state and federal governments as well as participating in international activities through its affiliation with the International Council of Women (established in 1888 at Seneca Falls in the United States of America) which has consultative status with the United Nations. The national Council grew out of the Federal Council of the National Council of Women, which had been established in 1924 ‘with the object of enhancing the power of the [state] Councils in dealing with matters of Australian concern.’ Later, Councils established in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory also affiliated with this national body. Until the 1940s at least, the Council was a major focal point for middle-class women’s activism. The current aims of NCWA are: To work for the removal of all discrimination against women and to promote the equal status of women and men in law and in fact. To act as a link for networking and a co-ordinator between State and Territory Councils of Women. To act as a voice or Agent of communication at national and international levels on issues and concerns of women. To develop national policies and responsibilities on behalf of women on an Australia wide basis. To maintain the affiliation with the International Council of Women and monitor the implementation of its plans of action and policies at national level.

Each State and Territory has its own brnach of the National Council of Women, and these in turn have affiliated with them a number of women’s organisations with a wide diversity of aims and goals. But the common linkage is to improve the status of and conditions for women and their families in Australia. #xA; #xA; To ensure that Australia was accorded a National presence on the International scene, the National Council of Women of Australia was established by the State and Territory Councils in 1931 to deal with issues affecting women and their families at a National and International level.

This body was preceded by the Federal Council of the National Council of Women, 1924-31 – records of which are contained in MS 7583, NLA, (http://www.nla.gov.au/ms/findaids/7583.html).
