Administrative History

The Women's Electoral Lobby (WEL) is a women's political lobby group whose broad objectives are to bring about legislative changes to ensure equality for women and to influence and educate public opinion on a wide range of issues which directly affect women.

WEL has been involved in preparing pamphlets, articles, submissions and press releases on issues such as childcare, equal pay, maternity leave, affirmative action, the Sex Discrimination Act, superannuation, taxation, the budget and marital property. WEL has also jointly and solely sponsored conferences such as the National Women's Tax Summit, the National Agenda for Women Conference, and conferences relating to the UN Decade for Women.

WEL was formed in 1972, and the first National Conference was held in 1973. Until 1978, WEL consisted of state and regional groups only. At the 1978 National Conference it was decided to form a national office known as WEL (Australia) in Canberra employing a part-time National Co-ordinator and a Secretary/Treasurer. The role of the National Co-ordinator was to liaise with WEL groups, other women's organisations, politicians and the media; to produce the National Bulletin, and to co-ordinate national WEL campaigns.

WEL National Co-ordinators, 1978-88 are as follows.

1978-79: Maria De Leo

1980-81: Yvonne Carnahan

1982-83: Pamela Denoon

1983-84: Lorelle Thompson

1984: Joanne Morgan

1985-86: Jane Elix

1986-88: Lynn Lee

1988: Joy Taylor

In 1980 the WEL National Management Committee was established consisting of a member from each state or territory, the National Co-ordinator and the National Treasurer. The functions of the committee were to co-ordinate the flow of information to and from the National Co-ordinator and to assist in national WEL decision making.

WEL (Australia) is closely affiliated with WEL (ACT) which has provided financial and other support to the national office and the National Co-ordinator. There has also been some staff crossover between the two bodies. Many of the activities initiated by WEL (ACT), such as lobbying Federal MPs were later taken over by WEL (Australia). WEL (ACT) also had a major role in organising the National Women's Tax Summit in 1985.

The records date from 1971-2009 and are categorised as follows: WEL in the media; WEL Australia (National) archive; WEL submissions; WEL ACT (Australian Capital Territory); and Women's Liberation. WEL in the media comprises news cuttings. A substantial portion of the WEL Australia records consists of research and working papers on women's issues and legislation relating to women, such as affirmative action, casual and part-time workers, childbirth, contraception, abortion, divorce, domestic violence, feminism, health, human rights, parental leave, pregnancy, reproductive rights, sexism, sex discrimination, single mothers and tax reform. WEL Australia records also include: papers relating to conferences and other events conducted by WEL; correspondence; posters; election material; WEL National Management Committee minutes and correspondence; newsletters; photographs; policy documents; funding papers; WEL history papers; and records reflecting relations between WEL Australia, various women's organisations and WEL state and territory branches. WEL submissions, to which there is an extensive index, document the organisation's lobbying activities at both national and state level. The small component entitled Women's Liberation contains newsletters.

This material is contained in 59 boxes (MS Acc10.116 Boxes 1-46, 48-59, 63; note there is no Box 47 or Boxes 60-62).
