Latest Message from the President

Dear Members and Friends,

It has been a busy past month with some inspirational speakers, great networking opportunities, and exciting projects, and we look forward to sharing some photos with you shortly.

Our ‘Law Firm Comparison Data’ Project and ‘Advancement of Women in Law Firms: Best Practice’ pilot research project, was launched by our Patron, the Honourable Acting Justice Jane Mathews AO, at a cocktail event on Tuesday 19th September. The reports and data may be viewed on our WorkPlace Practices page by clicking here.

Please ensure that you are signed up to our enews and social media platforms for the latest updates, events and news and share with your friends and colleagues.

We have some great speakers and events coming up in the next month, and please ‘save the date’ for our end of year Christmas events in Newcastle, Sydney & Wollongong.

Kind regards

Registered Charity Tick

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) has developed the Tick of Charity Registration (the Registered Charity Tick) for registered charities to show the public that they are registered with the ACNC. The Registered Charity Tick aims to give reassurance to the public that registered charities are transparent and accountable by highlighting their presence on the ACNC Charity Register. Please click here for the ACNC registration details of the Women Lawyers’ Association of NSW Inc.

Diversity and Equality Charter

Diverse and inclusive legal workplaces help to build a strong and respected legal profession. A major step towards this goal has been the development of a Diversity and Equality Charter, which organisations now have the opportunity to adopt. We encourage you to join us in supporting and adopting the Charter. Please click here for further information
