Way In Network was established in 1992 with an aim to build a support network for migrant women during their settlement in Australia.
Over the years, Way In has evolved into a well-known and trusted charity association amongst the local Chinese community with the key objective of raising funds so to assist those in need with our local community and internationally.
Way In was awarded on two separate occasions by the NSW Government in 2002 and 2013 for Outstanding Community Services.
The current committee team is led by President Annie Tang JP and with Past Presidents Mrs. Florence Chau JP and Ms Linda Tang JP as Honorary Advisors.
Members include migrant women from Hong Kong, the PRC, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. Most of our members hold professional positions in industries spanning from banking, finance, accounting, public relations and welfare to the public services. Others own and operate their own successfully businesses in Australia and or overseas, whilst others are homemakers. As an ongoing process, our members continue to assist newly women migrated to Sydney.
