Welcome to the Country Women's Association of New South Wales (CWA of NSW) second annual Women's Survey. The CWA of NSW remains committed to serving the needs of our members and the broader community. As part of our ongoing efforts, we launched this survey last year to gather valuable insights that will help shape our initiatives, actions, and advocacy.
