1996 - Improving our advocacy
A Women and Decision Making Skills project is run via OWN with a series of consultations and skill development workshops on effective advocacy.
The OWN Community Festival is held in Miller’s Point Celebrating Older Women’s Creativity funded by the City of Sydney. The Theatre Group continues to wow audiences at the Community Aged Care Conference at Sydney University.
At La Perouse, the group provides a moving performance of White Hands, Black Hands at a reconciliation event. OWN’s Northside Wellness Centre is set up in Chatswood.
Wyong OWN is formed with a priority on health, transport and projecting a more positive image of older women in the media.
History is herstory too.

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.
