General Management Committee Member

South West Sydney Women's Centre (The Centre) supports women in need across the South West Sydney area who are impacted by a complex range of factors that can increase their vulnerability. This includes women who have experienced past and current trauma, poverty and discrimination including women from CALD backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and children and other women from who are socially or economically marginalised. This vulnerability impacts their equitable access to resources and services for themselves, their children and family members and their ability to achieve their full potential.

The Centre operates, develops and delivers program and services that are accessible to all women and their children, and promote community cohesion by taking a woman centred approach. The Centre provides a range of classes and groups that promote social wellbeing and skill development that enable women to better participate in their community and engage with needed services.

The purpose of the our management committee is to provide strong governance for the organisation setting the strategic direction, providing financial oversight and risk management and supporting the delivery of outcomes focused programs and services to women in the district.

Never done this before? No problem. We'll support you with a warm welcome, a clear induction so you know what's what, ongoing guidance from other seasoned committee members and exposure to opportunities to build your skills in governance, advocacy and community work.
