About the organisation

Organisation Name : YWCA Australia

YWCA Australia is a proudly feminist and secular membership organisation, committed to inclusion, excellence, innovation and integrity. YWCA Australia has an asset base of over $60M and employs more than 250 staff in 15 locations across Australia. The object of YWCA Australia is to provide benevolent relief to people experiencing poverty, homelessness, violence or disadvantage, in particular women and children.

As an organisation, YWCA Australia:

• Provides services for the safety and empowerment of women, young women and girls;

• Promotes and advocates for gender equality;

• Works to advance the leadership of women, young women and girls;

• Provides emergency, affordable and community housing and support services for the relief of homelessness;

• Operates for-purposes businesses such as hotels that generate funds for reinvestment into our core mission activities.

The YWCA movement in Australia has a proud 160 year history and a strong legacy of serving the needs of women. In June 2018, the YWCAs in Australia completed an historic national merger via Scheme of Arrangement, bringing together nine YWCA organisations in Australia to become a single national organisation. The aim oft he merger was to simplify our structure, create a platform for us to leverage our strengths and improve our efficiency and effectiveness as an organisation. Through achieving greater scale, we seek to ensure the future sustainability and growth of the YWCA movement in Australia. The transition is now well-underway and a CEO and Executive Team have been appointed to lead the integration work and our teams across the country.
