Our Advisory Group
Our Advisory Group comprises member organisations from all states and territories, including peak bodies, in the area of preventing and responding to violence against women. AWAVA’s Advisory Group informs AWAVA’s priorities and work plan and amplifies the voices of the women and networks that members represent, with particular emphasis on intersectionality. The Advisory Group is intended to represent the different sub-sectors within the violence against women sector.
