We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land on which we work, along with the First Peoples language groups and communities across Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. First Nations sovereignty has never been ceded; this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
The Working Women’s Centre Australia understands the term ‘working women’ mean all women (this includes cis and trans women) and non-binary people (this includes people who are gender diverse, gender fluid, masculine or feminine) who meet our service eligibility criteria.
