UNIFEM Australia began in 1988 and since evolved to include the National Committee based in Canberra, six chapters including Canberra, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and International Women’s Day (IWD) events across Australia.

UNIFEM Australia is one of 19 National Committees including the U.S., United Kingdom, Sweden and Canada. The National Committees support UNIFEM through membership programmes, raising public awareness of gender and development issues and supporting regional programmes through fundraising.

UNIFEM Australia has several programmes which are supported through the fundraising, to find out more click here.

In the past 12 months, UNIFEM has been able to employ 2 full time staff members who now form the basis of our national office in Canberra.
