The Association of Children's Welfare Agencies (ACWA) is the NSW peak body for non-government community service organisations that deliver services to vulnerable children, young people and their families. We have been operating for more than 50 years and have a membership base of more than 100 agencies. Our core activities revolve around advocacy, policy development, research, consultation, member support, publications, sector conferences and seminars, projects, partnerships and sector development. ACWA also operates a learning and development division, the Centre for Community Welfare Training (CCWT), which is the largest non-government, not-for-profit training provider in NSW. Established in 1987, CCWT is a Registered Training Organisation committed to delivering professional learning that transforms people and communities for a better society.
