Our Core Values, Collect and Motto


Our Collect

Let us, O Lord, achieve the nobler purpose, for which we live – that others may be blest.
Save us from pettiness and all self-seeking;
Teach us to seek, to find, to give the best,
Let us be genuine with one another,
And see in each the best that we can find.
So many lives depending on ours for brightness,
Lord, keep us brave and help us to be kind.

Our Motto

Honour to God
Loyalty to the Throne
Service to the Country
Through Countrywomen
For Countrywomen
By Countrywomen.

Our Core Values

As part of the largest group of adult women in the world our core values are ones of: inclusion, acceptance and tolerance. As such we are an apolitical, non-religiously based organisation welcoming of anyone who identifies as a woman of any age. We are involved, listening, learning and actively working in the world of today and we accept that every woman comes to our Association with different experiences, skills and needs and we strive to provide an environment that allows each to shine.

 

Supporting your community in Tasmania since 1936.

Acknowledgment of Country

In the spirit of reconciliation, CWA in Tas acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of this island lutruwita on which we meet and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their elders past, present and future, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and everyday.
