Branch – Western Australian

The Western Australia Branch, with over 1,300 members, is supported by a voluntary Branch Management Committee elected by the Branch membership.

The Branch’s key role is to provide local support for AASW members through a range of activities that enable members to network, develop practice skills and organise around social justice issues.
