About YWCA Canberra
YWCA Canberra is a feminist not-for-profit organisation that has provided community services and represented women’s issues in Canberra since 1929.
Our mission is ‘We strengthen communities by supporting girls and women through our services and advocacy’ and our vision is ‘Girls and women thriving’.
We provide essential, quality services for women, girls and families in the ACT and surrounding regions. We work in the areas of children’s services, community development, homelessness and affordable housing, youth services, personal and professional training (RTO 1373), women’s leadership and advocacy.
We are externally accredited against the Quality Improvement Council (QIC) Health and Community Service Standards (7th Edition). Accreditation against the QIC standards support us to improve client and community engagement, diversity and cultural appropriateness, management systems, governance and service delivery, while committing to a cycle of continuous quality improvement.
We are also accredited against the following external standards:
National Quality Standard for Early Childhood Education and Care and School Aged Care
National Regulatory System for Community Housing
Registered Training Organisations Standards
We benchmark our work in homelessness and affordable housing against the Community Housing Standards.
Through our national Affiliate Association with YWCA Australia, we are part of the World YWCA network, which connects 120 countries across the globe.
