ABOUT US

The Victorian Women's Trust, established in 1985, is a proud feminist organisation that prizes its independence. It is an advocate, an initiator and a grant-maker.

It carries out gender equality work through three entities: the Victorian Women's Trust Ltd; the Victorian Women's Benevolent Trust (VWBT); and the Dugdale Trust for Women & Girls (DTWG).

We have enjoyed a long and respectful partnership with Koorie Women Mean Business, with which we share our office. This partnership means a great deal to VWT: two women-led organisations walking together, respectful of the knowledge, wisdom and practices of Australia's First Nations peoples.
