Challenging the CWA stereotype, we're an enthusiastic, dynamic group aiming to help make a difference
– especially for those in our community who may need a hand

CWA Sydney City Branch was formed in 2000 as part of the greater Country Women’s Association of NSW which is a non-party political, non-sectarian, voluntary organisation for women of all ages and walks of life.

Since then our Branch’s membership has swelled to over 100 women – ranging in age from early 20s to 80s, from many cultures, professions and walks of life. At times, we’re the largest branch in this State. We’re thrilled to have just celebrated our 25th anniversary.

Keen to offer all women a diverse range of opportunities, we’re all for ‘having a go’ and doing our best to:

  • raise much-needed funds for educational scholarships, essential health and medical research and other causes

  • champion community interest in sustainability and the importance of eating locally, supporting Australian farmers and fresh produce

  • raise awareness, drive change and lobby Government around vital social and community issues

  • take part in reviving and rejuvenating time-honoured ‘granny skills’, holding regular workshops and get-togethers on preserve making, baking and handicrafts

  • participate in Branch, Group and State baking, cookery and handicraft competitions

  • learn about international traditions and customs while keenly supporting our local culture; the country of study for 2026 is Fiji

  • discover more about Ag & Enviro, Cultural and Social Issues which shape our communities today

  • support one another in CWA friendship, providing valuable connections and opportunities to help grow in confidence

  • …along with how-to’s on baking the perfect scone!

CWA Sydney City is proud to be one of seven Sydney metropolitan branches which belong to ‘Phillip’ Group.

We encourage like-minded women to come together and join in continuing to challenge the stereotype and help make a positive change to our communities.

More than just ‘tea and scones’, we’re confident the CWA of today will continue to be a strong and relevant force long into the future
