Australian Womensport and Recreation Association Inc
Welcome to the Australian Womensport and Recreation Association Inc online.
The Australian Womensport and Recreation Association Inc is delighted to announce our new Patron:
Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC
Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia
The Australian Womensport & Recreation Association Inc (AWRA) is a volunteer not-for-profit organisation that was incorporated in 2005. As a national non-government organisation, its vision statement is:
"to provide leadership and advocacy for Australian women and girls in sport and active recreation".
AWRA has received strong support from the employees and associates of the state-based women's sport bodies from around Australia. The support received from each of these state-based bodies indicates their commitment to AWRA as an umbrella national body providing a voice for women and girls in sport and active recreation.

The Australian Womensport and Recreation Association's Board has agreed to give its support to ACHPER (the Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation) as it embarks on a campaign to include Health and Physical Education as key learning areas in the National Curriculum. AWRA would like to encourage its members to take an active interest and action on this matter as it is usually through school sport and physical education that girls are first introduced to organised sport and physical activities.
