Over the past 4 decades, WEL has been a force to be reckoned with in Australian politics.

We’ve been instrumental in the introduction of equal pay legislation in 1972, which saw women awarded the male rate of pay, no matter what job they performed; the drafting and implementation of state anti-discrimination and federal sex discrimination legislation; and rape law reform.

Despite these significant wins, the fight is not over. Now, more than ever, WEL needs your active participation.

With the Federal election looming, it is going to be a busy year for WEL. We need your support and involvement to get women’s issues back on the agenda and to fight the recent erosion of women’s rights in this country.
