On Saturday 25 May, Canowindra Branch of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW celebrated its 100th birthday and RDN Board Member and local GP, Ros Bullock, was honoured to attend and be a guest speaker at the event. 

Hosted at the Canowindra Bowling Club and attracting current and past members, as well as community members and local state MLA Phil Donato and Federal MP Andrew Gee (pictured at table, on the left, next to Ros). The group gathered over good food and local music to hear from Ros and other guest speakers and to discuss a variety of issues including maternal and children’s health and dealing with isolation. 

Ros moved to Canowindra in 2006 and shared that it was “a no brainer to come back to Canowindra” after finishing her training at Orange Base hospital. Ros is a GP who has served both Canowindra and Cowra over the last 16 years and was a CWA member for 12 of them. 

The CWA is the largest women's organisation in Australia and aims to improve conditions for country women and children by lobbying for change, helping the local community, creating a network of support and meeting together in towns and cities. Members also enjoy cooking, handicraft, art and creative writing competitions as well as teaching skills to others. 

On behalf of everyone at RDN, congratulations to the Canowindra Branch of the CWA and thank you for your tireless efforts advocating for the health needs of your community.
