About Us

NCJWA Vic is a vibrant, strong and independent women’s organisation dedicated to furthering the status of women in both the Jewish and broader communities. We do this through a range of innovative activities.

Established in Victoria in 1927, by Dr Fanny Reading, the National Council of Jewish Women of Australia Victoria (NCJWA Vic) is a grassroots, membership organisation that serves the community.

What makes us unique and effective is that we bring together women across the generations and from across the community to advance our vision. We also partner with other organisations locally, nationally and globally, to give voice to our common causes.

How we make a positive and lasting impact

NCJWA Vic focuses specifically on empowering and enriching women’s lives. We build self-esteem, confidence, connection and life skills as well as provide emotional support and reassurance at critical junctions in women’s lives.
