National Rural Women's Coalition
The National Rural Women's Coalition (NRWC) is a collaborative national voice for women living in rural, regional and remote Australia. Established in 2002, we seek to ensure better social and economic outcomes for women in our rural townships and on farms.
Current members of the NRWC are:
- Australian Local Government Women's Association
- Australian Women in Agriculture
- Country Women's Association of Australian
- Foundation for Australian Agricultural Women
- National Rural Health Alliance
- Rural Doctors Association of Australia - Female Doctor's Group
- Women's Industry Network Seafood Community, and
- A rural Indigenous woman
The objectives of the NRWC are to:
- represent the diverse views of women in rural, regional and remote Australia;
- provide advice to the Australian Government on policy issues relevant to the views and circumstances of rural women; and
- contribute to building a positive profile of rural women, their achievements and issues.
Issues of especial interest to the NRWC are health, drought policy, family violence and cross-cultural awareness between Indigenous and non-Indigenous women and their communities.
