The Victorian Working Women’s Centre, a partnership with the Victorian Trades Hall Council (VTHC) supports working women based in Victoria and advocates for change to underlying structural problems women face in the workplace.
We use the term ‘working women’ to mean all women, cis and trans. It also includes non-binary and gender diverse people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of women.
We provide working women with information and support to enforce their workplace rights and entitlements. We deliver education and training to employers, unions, TAFEs, universities and women’s organisations about how to address workplace gendered violence and support workers experiencing family violence. We collaborate to research, identify and implement practical plans regarding specific workplace issues for women on an industry and cross industry basis, and to address gaps to improve the lives of working women.
