1987 - The OWN Project launches
With the overwhelming success of the workshops, Noreen Hewett suggests they form the Older Women’s Network (OWN) Project.
A planning picnic, led by founders Noreen and Linda Adamson, is held in Victoria Park Camperdown to energise the OWN Project.
The diverse group includes trade unionists, feminists, Quakers, Catholic women and members of the Salvation Army.
History is herstory too.
National Older Women’s Network
The National Older Women’s Network believes in a society rich in social capital, where mutual respect and trust are paramount, where diversity and debate are valued and where people and their networks have a legitimate voice.

National Older Women's Network (NOWN) acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
We acknowledge the sorrow of the Stolen Generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
NOWN supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the call for a First Nation's Voice enshrined in the Australian Constitution and a Makarrata Commission to oversee agreement-making and truth-telling.
