National Older Women’s Network
A national organisation comprised of a network of state groups that promotes the rights, dignity, and wellbeing of older women.
The National Older Women’s Network believes in a society rich in social capital, where mutual respect and trust are paramount, where diversity and debate are valued and where people and their networks have a legitimate voice.
The aim of each OWN Group nation-wide is to promote the rights, dignity, and wellbeing of older women. There are currently 17 groups operating across NSW, in Queensland and in Western Australia.
Victoria, South Australia are currently reforming and we are looking to build networks in Tasmania, ACT, and the NT.
Groups organise a wide range of activities and advocate on issues of concern to older women according to the aims and objectives defined by the members.
