In October 1946, the constitution established the Federal Women's Committee as a structural feature of the Party.
[1] "The voting membership of the FWC comprises the Chairman of each State and ACT women’s section, the female Federal Vice-President of the Party and the President and Immediate Past President of the FWC.
The sections have been influential over the years and instrumental in the development of many of the Party’s major initiatives for women at Federal, State and Territory levels".
[3] "As the peak body representing women in the Liberal Party, the FWC has been active in promoting women for elected office, advocating policy, advising on a wide range of issues, assisting in election campaigns and performing a vital role in the enduring success of the Liberal Party.
Much of the FWC’s efforts are unsung but they are crucial to the development of a truly representative nationwide party organisation".
