National Rural Women's Coalition

The NRWC, established in 2002, connects with, and provides linkages with rural women’s organisations and individual women for a stronger networking collaboration and a voice for women living in rural, remote and regional Australia.  It is a dedicated rural women’s organisation independent of party politics.

The NRWC:

• focuses on the recognition, wellbeing, participation, economic security and safety of women in Rural, Remote and Regional Australia in partnerships with our member organisations       
• supports and grows vibrant, rural, remote and regional communities throughout Australia 
• Represents the diverse views of rural and remote women   
• Provides advice to the Australian Government on policy issues relevant  to the views and circumstances of rural and remote women
• Contributes to building a positive profit of rural women
• Celebrates the achievement of rural and remote women

We do this through the values  which underpin our work:

• Respect – recognising and showing commitment to the diverse views of Rural, Remote and Regional women
• Innovation – challenging and improving connections with Rural, Remote and Regional women
• Professionalism – acting with integrity and transparency
• Empowerment – promoting equality, diversity and inclusiveness
