Join WEL

Over the past 4 decades, WEL has been a force to be reckoned with in Australian politics.

We’ve been instrumental in the introduction of equal pay legislation in 1972, which saw women awarded the male rate of pay, no matter what job they performed; the drafting and implementation of state anti-discrimination and federal sex discrimination legislation; and rape law reform.

Despite these significant wins, there is still work to do. If you would like to be involved in changing women’s lives for the better (and creating a bit of history) join us!
