The Union of Australian Women (Victoria) Sub-Fund

The Union of Australian Women (Victoria) (UAW) spent seventy years highlighting the often hidden contribution of women to Victoria’s economic, cultural and political life.

In 2021, UAW Victoria—the last remaining UAW branch—dedicated their remaining funds to establish a Sub-Fund for the leadership, training and rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, girls, non-binary and gender diverse young people. Committed community members donated funds to this Sub-Fund in support of the UAW Vic.

The Sub-Fund continues UAW’s proud history of engaging with and being led by First Australian people. Some UAW members were Aboriginal women, leading members of the Aboriginal community spoke regularly at UAW meetings and several UAW members were affiliated with the establishment of the Aboriginal Advancement League and the Council for Aboriginal Rights.

The Union of Australian Women (Victoria) Sub-Fund will receive applications from Aboriginal organisations to fund projects which address

· Indigenous rights, leadership and training for Indigenous girls in Victoria
