About the organisation
The NSW Division of the United Nations Association of Australia (unaansw.org.au) - aims to inform, inspire and engage Australians about the work and values of the United Nations, with a view to creating a safer, fairer and more sustainable world.
Our strategic focus is on the UN’s three main pillars—peace & security, human rights and sustainable development—founded on the values of global citizenship. We empower our people and partners to think globally and act locally through events, education, and advocacy.

The long-term objects of UNAA NSW are set out in the Constitution. The Patron of the UNAA NSW is the Governor of New South Wales.
