The U3A Network-Victoria is an incorporated association whose members are some 98 Universities of the Third Age (U3As) in Victoria with over 28,000 individual members.
All of these U3As are autonomous associations in their own right, and because of mutual interests have joined the Network voluntarily.
The Network is recognised by the Adult, Community and Further Education Board of Victoria as the Peak Body for U3As in this state.
The structure is of a Council of nominated representatives from Members and an elected Executive Committee. Further sub-committees are instituted in the areas of finance, publicity and promotion, newsletters etc.
The central role of the Network is the promotion of the U3A movement and particularly on behalf of its members.
This involves:
* fostering the creation of new U3As and the further development of existing U3As.
* serving as a reference body, a central linkage in the U3A Network Victoria, and acting as a central resource facility for all U3As.
* providing publicity, promotion and profile for the U3A movement generally, and in particular to member U3As, the general public and to government and other public bodies. This information is disseminated through a Quarterly newsletter, this website and Council meetings of representitive members of Network
Although it is called a 'university', being in your Third Age is the only qualification needed to become a member. No educational qualifications are required or given. Those who teach and those who learn are all members of U3A.
