This week, the Lismore CWA has been celebrating CWA of NSW Awareness Week, highlighting the vital work and enduring friendships fostered by the Country Women’s Association (CWA).

As Australia’s largest women’s organisation, the CWA is committed to improving the lives of country women and children through health, education, agriculture, and rural development initiatives. With both a Day Branch and an Evening Branch, the Lismore CWA offers opportunities for everyone, from lifelong locals to newcomers seeking community connection.

Both Branches meet regularly at the Lismore CWA Rooms, 46 Spinks Park on Molesworth Street (Behind NSW Fire and Rescue Lismore station).

Why Join the Lismore CWA?

The Lismore CWA branches are about more than scones and tea—they are dedicated to building a supportive network, advocating for important issues, and creating positive change. The Lismore branches have been actively involved in flood recovery, disaster relief efforts, educational scholarships, and many initiatives that make a real difference in our region. Joining the CWA connects you with like-minded women passionate about community service, personal growth, and advocacy. The CWA year starts in October, so joining then will give you a full year of membership.

Discover the Day Branch

The Lismore CWA Day Branch, a long-standing part of our community, meets on the second Friday of each month at 10:00 AM. This branch is perfect for those who enjoy daytime gatherings focused on skill sharing, charitable projects, and making a positive impact. Whether you’re interested in crafts, cooking, or community service, the Day Branch offers a chance to contribute your talents and build lasting connections. You may have joined us for a craft morning (Tuesday mornings between 10:00AM and 2:00PM), had a gift wrapped by us at Christmas, or enjoyed a scone from our Lismore Show tea rooms.

Join the Evening Branch

The Lismore CWA Evening Branch provides a flexible option for women with daytime commitments, such as work or family. Meeting on the second Monday of each month at 6:00 PM, It’s a great way to unwind, connect with like-minded women, and contribute to projects that benefit the Lismore community. Whether you’ve seen us at the Lismore Farmers Market with our van ‘Margy,’ received a beanie or rug after the floods, or enjoyed a scone with us at Gemfest, the Evening Branch offers an ideal way for working women or those with busy days to still be part of the CWA’s mission.
