Strategic Plan

2024-2028

 

Vision

Our vision is for communities where all 
women, children and families
are safe, supported and can
realise their potential.

 
Purpose

The Purpose of our Association is to provide assistance and support to women, children and families who are facing disadvantage or vulnerability, throughout metropolitan, regional, rural and remote areas in Victoria.

We achieve our purpose by being

Inclusive

Welcoming all women in our diverse communities, we look out for each other, value fun and friendship, and seek to be kind to one another.

Optimistic

We believe that women, children and families can be safe and self-reliant, with the skills needed to reach their potential.

Collaborative

We can achieve more as an organisation than any one individual. We build networks of support and work to understand, address and advocate on issues impacting the communities we serve.

Transparent

We believe that internal transparency and clear guidelines strengthen our Association.

Committed

We are purposeful, tenacious and courageous in everything we do.

 

Decision-Making Principles
of the Association


Purpose

Our activities provide assistance and support to women, children and families who are facing disadvantage or vulnerability, throughout metropolitan, regional, rural and remote areas in Victoria.

Inspire and promote
Branches, members and other stakeholders are inspired by our priorities, are keen to respond and can be provided with accessible structures or processes to do so.


Financial sustainability and efficiency

When we consider the costs and benefits, the numbers stack up. We are transparent on cost benefits and seek to work smarter not harder.


Reputation

We seek to grow and protect our reputation in all projects and partnerships, in ways that are nonpartisan and non-sectarian.


Capacity

Our capability, workload and accountability are sufficient, compliant, manageable and sustainable.


Risk assessment

We only take on operational, reputational and financial risks that are acceptable and can be managed.


Our Vision
A thriving, biodiverse, and well-protected Australian coastline—cherished by communities, supported by science, and preserved for generations to come.

We imagine a future where every Australian understands their connection to the coast and feels empowered to protect it.

We cook, we craft and we advocate for change, while always remaining relevant.
