Welcome to OWN NSW
The Older Women's Network first formed in Australia in 1987 when a group of older women in the Combined Pensioners Association saw the need for a network which would focus on the interests and concerns of older women.
By July 2001, the Older Women's Network (OWN) New South Wales was established as the peak body for OWN Groups across NSW. The aim of all OWN Groups is to promote the rights, dignity and wellbeing of older women. Groups organise a wide range of activities and advocate on issues of concern to older women.
For information about joining an OWN group or subscribing to OWN Matters, the monthly newsletter of OWN NSW, please contact the OWN NSW Coordinator.
