NFAW annual dinner with guest speaker Virginia Haussegger

For more than two decades the National Foundation for Australian Women (NFAW) has set the agenda for women’s issues nationally and given weight to the collective voice of Australian women.

Our annual dinner helps maintain and progress our extraordinary record of achievement.

We keep the aspirations of women alive to be handed on to new generations.
