Women's Information Service: 40+ years of service
The Women's Information Service (WIS) has been a trusted source of support and empowerment for South Australian women and people of marginalised genders since its beginnings as the Women's Information Switchboard in 1978. In 2018, WIS proudly celebrated 40 years of making a meaningful difference in the community.
Throughout the years, dedicated volunteers have played a vital role in shaping WIS, generously giving their time to advise and support others. As part of a special history project in 2018, volunteers captured the stories of those who have had a lasting impact on the service—interviews that are now preserved in the State Library of South Australia collection.
With a strong commitment to growth and innovation, WIS looks to the future with enthusiasm, continuing to provide essential resources and support to help people make informed choices and thrive.
We value diversity and want our spaces to be safe and inclusive for all women, including trans women and sistergirls, as well as people of marginalised genders.
Office for Women acknowledges and respects Aboriginal peoples as the State’s first peoples and nations and recognises Aboriginal peoples as traditional owners and occupants of the lands and waters in South Australia.
