Australian Local Government Women's Association Victorian Branch

Full description

The Victorian Branch of the Australian Local Government Women's Association (ALGWA) was formed in 1963, after the earlier body, formed a decade earlier, had lapsed. The Association was always intended to be non-party affiliated. Its objectives were to assist women's knowledge and understanding of local government; to protect interests and rights of women in local government; to take action on women's behalf; to encourage women to make a career in local government and to act in an advisory capacity to suitable women candidates for local government election.
