1990 - The OWN Newsletter launches
The OWN newsletter is launched using the ‘leaping ladies’ logo. It replaces the news sheet.
The OWN Theatre Group puts older women’s issues in the spotlight in their parody Older Women Centre Stage at the Premier’s Forum Ageing: Facts, Fears and Fictions.
OWN workshops expand and move to the Quakers Hall in Devonshire Street and training rooms at the Australian Metal Workers Union in Elizabeth Street in Sydney.
OWN’s Health Group is formed and runs for twelve years.
The first issue of Making KNOWN, the newsletter of National OWN, is published.
History is herstory too.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
We acknowledge the sorrow of the Stolen Generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
OWN NSW supports the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the call for a First Nation's Voice enshrined in the Australian Constitution and a Makarrata Commission to oversee agreement-making and truth-telling.
