Objectives - To implement the Australian Council of Trade Unions Working Women's Charter. To reflect the changing needs of working women in the Charter.

Notes: Also involved Labour Women (Australian Labor Party). Absorbed Queensland Women's Trade Union Committee Membership open only to members of the Trades and Labour Council affiliated unions. The Charter idea and a first version arose from the Australian Women's Trade Union Conference (August 1976).

The Queensland W.W.C.C. began in November, 1978.
