Today, our State Office team celebrated QCWA's birthday with a special afternoon tea, taking a moment to reflect on the incredible legacy of our organisation and the difference QCWA continues to make in communities across Queensland.

These photos showcase some of the dedicated people behind the scenes, who help keep QCWA moving forward every day. From our dedicated State Office team to our hardworking Country Kitchens staff, and the leadership of our State President, every person plays an important role in making a difference across our state. Together, they work alongside our members and volunteers to support, advocate for, and strengthen communities from the bush to the beach.

As we celebrate another year of friendship, service, and community spirit, we thank everyone who has contributed to QCWA's journey and helped shape our future.

🎉🎂 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! ✨
