What is VIEW?

VIEW brings women together - women who live in 400 metropolitan, regional and rural communities. Nearly 22,000 VIEW women tap into a wide range of activities each month, in between Club meetings, into other optional activities such as tours, craft days, theatre parties and outings.  VIEW has no political or religious affiliation.


VIEW women are just like you - they are working outside the home, or at home during the day; they have time to share or little time to spare; they have skills to show and to learn. Whichever applies to you, you'll find a friendly welcome in VIEW.


Don't forget the fun

Many VIEW women joined to meet new people, and enjoy getting together and making new friends. 22,000 women can't be wrong - their experience VIEW as an important, fulfilling and fun social activity.


Do good things

Many VIEW women joined to do good things.   VIEW women, as a part of The Smith Family, are committed to providing educational opportunities for Australia's children.


Already VIEW women sponsor over 500 students on The Smith Family's Learning for Life program.  Importantly, VIEW women will tell you that some of their best times are when they work together on a worthwhile project in their local neighbourhood. Practical support such as reading at local schools, working with kids at a local learning club after school, or teaching craft to primary school students are just some of these rewarding activities.
