Catholic Women’s League Australia Inc. (CWLA) is a non Government Organisation (NGO) with a membership of approximately 7000 women Australia-wide. Our Organisation was founded by Margaret Fletcher in England in 1906 and established in Australia in 1914.

In aspiring to realise the Objects of the League, we aim to educate, promote and provide encouragement to Catholic Women to live out the teachings of the Church, and to be aware of issues relevant to all women and of family life; seeking always to commit to the support of the marginalized and those at the grassroots of society.

Our Mission

CWL is an organisation dedicated to working, supporting and empowering women to participate with dignity and a spirit-filled purpose to work for the building of the Kingdom of God.

Our Vision

In 2008-2009 we will strive to emulate the faith, courage, determination and love of our founder, Margaret Fletcher and the women who have led us forward to this day.

To continue to affirm the dignity of women in family, religious and single life, and to encourage the participation of women in the Mission of the Church; to nurture and respect their God-given gifts and to using these gifts wisely

To collaborate effectively with women of other faiths.
