About the Network
The U3A Network NSW Inc consists of over 60 autonomous U3As throughout NSW and several more groups from interstate, who are dedicated to providing life-long learning opportunities for their members in their ‘third age’, “The Age of Retirement”. Retirees, using the skills and interests gained during their working years either participate and/or present for the sheer pleasure of affordable “learning for fun”, engaging in physical activities and the resultant social benefits from meeting like-minded people.
The primary object of the U3A Network NSW Inc. is to assist the U3A Network Members by providing advice and relevant services to them and to encourage their involvement in the wider community, while recognising their autonomy.
Through Regional Representatives, U3A Network NSW encourages and facilitates cooperation and networking between Member U3As and shares experiences and benefits for all affiliated members.
By participating with other Australian State Networks, the NSW Network keeps in touch with Australia-wide U3A developments to ensure that Members of U3A Network NSW are made aware of initiatives that can benefit them.

Message to U3A Network Members
After the recent Network AGM I was elected President of the Network committee. I share with you an enthusiasm for the U3A ethos and, more importantly, the fellowship and the activities offered by members. When I look at the planned U3A
programmes I am excited and always impressed at the range of interests and the motivated presenters.
Seniors in action!
We have an opportunity to progress on the sterling efforts of so many members and prepare for the future. Your Region Representative is your conduit to the Network Committee with your concerns and suggestions. We offer Services and Support and the CENSUS is a means of providing the necessary insurances and licences.
CENSUS 2026 will soon be available to complete and, as in recent years, the Network will be asking Member U3As about their scoped needs for 2026.
Yours in U3A,
Laurene Mulcahy,
President, U3A Network NSW Inc.
