About Us

Since 22 November 1945

The Australian War Widows Inc. (formerly War Widows Guild of Australia Inc.) supports and advocates for all War Widows from all conflicts.

Australian War Widows’ motto was adopted by the national organisation in 1949 at its third annual conference to set the mood, tone, harmony and the working together of the conference and the organisation.

“We all belong to each other. We all need each other. It is in serving each other and in sacrificing for our common good that we are finding our true life.”  

King George VI, extract from 1941 Christmas message
