🎉🎂 Happy 104th Birthday, QCWA! 🎂🎉

Today we celebrate 104 years of the Queensland Country Women's Association.

Since our founding on 11 August 1922, QCWA has been a powerful voice for Queensland women and a steadfast supporter of regional, rural and remote communities.

💙 Some milestones from our remarkable history:

🌻 1922 - QCWA is established to improve conditions and opportunities for women and families living in country Queensland.

🌻 1920s - Branches rapidly spread across the state, creating vital social connections and advocating for better healthcare, education and services.

🌻 1930s & 1940s - Members support communities through the Great Depression and World War II, providing practical assistance, comfort and care.

🌻 Decades of advocacy - QCWA campaigns for improved maternal and child health services, education opportunities, transport, communications and rural healthcare.

🌻 Supporting communities through disasters - From droughts and floods to cyclones and bushfires, QCWA members have continually stepped up to help Queenslanders in times of need.

🌻 Preserving traditions - Generations of members have shared skills through handcraft, cooking, cultural and educational programs that continue to thrive today.

🌻 Looking to the future - QCWA continues to advocate for issues impacting women and communities, including housing affordability, ageing into poverty, health services and community wellbeing.

For 104 years, QCWA members have embodied friendship, service and resilience. From the bush to the beach, our strength has always been our people and our commitment to making a difference.

✨ Thank you to every member, past and present, who has helped shape QCWA's proud history. Happy 104th Birthday QCWA! ✨

Better late than never... a few more photos from FarmFest

A big thank you to the members and supporters who helped represent the QCWA Virtual Branch at this year's event. Between the conversations, questions, laughs and new connections, it was a fantastic opportunity to share what the Virtual Branch is all about.

One of the best things about our branch is that we're bringing women together from all corners of Queensland, and events like FARMFEST help us reach even more people who might be looking for connection, friendship, advocacy and community.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a chat, and to those who gave up part of their day to help on the stall. We couldn't do it without you.

We’re back at FarmFest for day 2, call in and say hi!

🚜 We’re off to FARMFEST! 🌾

The QCWA Virtual Branch has been lucky enough to receive a shared stall space at FARMFEST 2026, and we’re looking for a few members or supporters who might like to help out across the event.

📅 2–4 June 2026
📍 Toowoomba

Whether you can spare a couple of hours or a larger chunk of the day, we’d love the help. It’s a great excuse for a day out, a wander around FARMFEST, and a chance to help spread the word about our growing Virtual Branch community.

Volunteers helping on the stall for several hours will receive free entry to the event.

If you’re interested, please send us a message with the day/s you may be available

From Brisbane to Cape York… and now all the way across to Perth 🌏👣

What started as a simple 10,000 Steps challenge back in March 2025 has turned into something pretty incredible. Together, we’ve now “walked” the equivalent distance from Brisbane to Cape York — reaching the northernmost point of mainland Australia in January 2026 — and kept right on going across the country to Perth.

Every step represents women showing up for themselves, their health, and each other. Some steps were taken on station tracks, some on town footpaths, some on a walking holiday, some between work, kids, meetings, farms, study and everything else life throws at us.

And while we might not physically walk side by side, there’s certainly been plenty of friendly (but fierce!) competition along the way 😄
Safe to say the app has been checked more than once a day, the leaderboard watched closely, and there’s been no shortage of “just going for one more lap around the house” to sneak ahead. But that’s the beauty of it — we spur each other on, celebrate each other’s wins, and keep each other moving.

8,000+ kilometres later… we’re still going 💜
