Australian Federation of University Women
The Australian Federation of University Women, founded in 1922, is the national umbrella organisation for state Federations of University Women in Australia.[1]
The organisation lobbies the Federal Government on issues pertaining to women in academia. It also organises triennial conferences and awards several fellowships for post-graduate study. It has campaigned for equal pay and employment opportunities for female academics and against gender discrimination in education.
