ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY / BIOGRAPHY<br/><br/>The National Women’s Consultative Council (NWCC) was formed in 1984, replacing the National Women’s Advisory Council (1978 -1984). <br/><br/>The NWCC was an integral part of the Federal Government’s strategy for consulting with women in the community. It was an independent organisation with members appointed by the Federal Government. The Council’s brief reflected the importance of two way consultation:<br/><br/>to consult with women about their views on particular issues being considered by Government;<br/><br/>to provide information to women’s organisations and women in the community about Government decisions on the status of women matters; and<br/><br/>to bring to the attention of the Government matters of concern to women. <br/><br/>Membership was drawn mainly from major women’s organisations and other organisations with large numbers of women members. Helen Leonard was a member representing the Nursing Mothers’ Association of Australia. The guidelines also allowed for a small number of Ministerial appointments to be made, which ensured that the Council was representative of all women and had continuity of membership.<br/><br/>The NWCC produced its last report in December 1992 and in late 1993 it was replaced by the Australian Council for Women (1993 – 1995).<br/><br/>(Reference: The Australian Women’s Register; NWCC Operating Guidelines dated 1990 in Box 3) <br/><br/> |
