Women of Colour Australia (WoCA) is very fortunate to have a wonderful and ever-expanding group of individuals who generously donate their skills, talents, and time, voluntarily, in a broad range of ways. To allow our volunteers to engage in WoCA’s work meaningfully, we ask them to self-select areas within the organisation’s internal structure where they can add value, contribute their expertise, and expand their skills. Thus, WoCA encourages them to choose positions and projects that they are passionate about, experienced in, or want to grow in. Our volunteers are the heart and soul of the organisation. They come from diverse backgrounds, identities, and, most importantly, lived experiences. Their commitment and love for the community help WoCA drive the changes we want to see in our communities, societies, and the world.
WoCA is proud to celebrate and acknowledge its many volunteers—some more of whom are listed below. We thank all our members for offering their time and talent in numerous capacities. To view more volunteer profiles with bios and photos, visit our More Volunteers page.

We acknowledge the Wallumattagal clan of the Darug nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Women of Colour Australia is situated. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women with whom we stand in solidarity. We acknowledge that as settlers on this stolen Aboriginal land, we are beneficiaries of the dispossession, genocide, and ongoing colonial violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We believe that it is our collective responsibility and moral imperative to help dismantle the systemic barriers and structural inequities oppressing the original inhabitants of this land. We are also painfully aware that this land was taken forcibly, without a Treaty or reparations made. We have taken a practical step towards honouring sovereignty by paying the rent – and we invite you to do so too. This land is and always will be Aboriginal land. Sovereignty was never ceded.
