Victorian Women Lawyers is the peak organisation for women lawyers in Victoria. VWL members are provided with a professional network and common meeting ground, in which the continuing education and development of women lawyers in all matters of legal interest are encouraged. VWL is dedicated to assisting our members to achieve a satisfying, successful professional life whatever their particular and personal definition of success might be. VWL advocates for the removal of barriers to and increase in opportunities for participation by, and advancement of, women in the legal profession in Victoria. VWL aims to advance equality for women in the legal profession, and to promote the understanding and support of women’s legal and human rights. Membership of VWL is open to anyone (regardless of gender identity) supportive of VWL’s values. VWL’s ethos is that by improving the lives of women working in law we will improve the profession and justice system for everyone. For 2023 VWL’s theme is “community” with a focus on creating a space where our members can make meaningful connections and feel they belong.
