About us

Our Guiding Principles

Charity

We give freely, without need of recognition, acknowledgement or reward.

Work

We actively speak, or work, on behalf of those who cannot speak up or help themselves.

Loyalty

We offer fidelity and support to our members and community, respecting all living creatures.

What we do

The Catholic Women’s League of Western Australia (CWLWA) represents women across WA

Our organisation was founded in 1937 and is affiliated with WUCWO, the World Union of Catholic Women’s Organisation.

The CWLWA is committed to championing women and the many varied issues they are facing in their lives, all through the lens of the Catholic Church.

We aim to support and influence through advocacy and financial support and by canvassing both State and Federal members of Parliament to work to uphold the dignity of all women.

Our work assists women who are marginalised through poverty, violence and discrimination of any kind, including coercion into practices that do not reflect a strong, democratic and inclusive community.

The CWLWA reach extends across the State, with branches in the city and in many country towns. We also welcome associate members, those who wish to support our ideals, but are unable to join a branch due to geographical distance.

If you are interested in becoming a member or an associate, email cwlwa.inc@gmail.com with your contact details and we will be in touch. Or you can contact your local branch.
