About the organisation
WIRE is a leading service delivery organisation with more than 35 years’ experience supporting countless women, non-binary and gender-diverse people across Victoria. It is the only Victorian state-wide free service that provides information, support and referrals to any Victorian women, nonbinary and gender-diverse person on any issue.
Vision: A just and inclusive society where all people can thrive.
Values: WIRE is feminist, inclusive and bold. We strive for social justice, empowerment and integrity.
Mission: At WIRE we work with women, non-binary and gender-diverse people to address the issues they identify, assist them to make informed choices in their lives and advocate for structural change to bring about gender equity and social justice.
WIRE has a strong track-record of innovation in research, training and service delivery and addressing the multiple barriers women, nonbinary and gender-diverse experience that contribute to their marginalisation.
WIRE supports all women, including non-binary and gender non-conforming people who identify as women. We are a committed feminist organisation that provides best-practice gender-informed service delivery, research and training and a non-stigmatising service delivery entry point for thousands of people every year.
We provide support through a Telephone Support Line, by email and online, as well as face-to-face at our Walk in Centre located in West Melbourne. We also deliver a range of programs and services including job coaching, employment workshops, financial and legal clinic, lunch-time clubs and activities for those experiencing isolation and homelessness.
We also undertake projects and provide education and resources to individuals, organisations and the community to build capacity and capability to counter gender bias, discrimination and family violence. This includes training products and programs focused on increasing women’s financial capability, addressing family violence, dealing with difficult calls and working more effectively with women.
As a small organisation, our impact ripples throughout Victoria. With over 45 active volunteers and 22 staff we provide services to women that changes lives. We are proud of who we are, the service we provide and what we have achieve.
