National Women's Alliances

The National Women’s Alliances grant opportunity will establish 6 civil society networks (Alliances) to ensure women’s voices are heard in the policy making process.

The intended outcomes of the National Women’s Alliances stream are that Alliances:

• Represent Australian women, including underrepresented women.
• Collaborate with policymakers to inform the Australian Government’s understanding of policy issues affecting Australian women.
• Collaborate with policymakers to inform the development of policy solutions to issues affecting Australian women.

Alliances should have a national footprint. Given this, organisations should apply under one of the 6 specific themes to achieve maximum impact. The 6 themes are:

• women’s safety
• women’s economic security and leadership
• Australian women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women
• women living in rural, regional and remote areas of Australia
• Australian women living with disability.
