U3A
Peak body coordinating ~80 U3A chapters across New South Wales. Online learning programs, training resources, and chapter-finder.
U3A Network NSW is the state coordinating body for the ~80 University of the Third Age chapters operating across NSW. The Network supports new chapter start-ups, provides shared training resources for tutors, and runs annual conferences.
Many member chapters now offer online courses in addition to in-person classes, which has opened access for older people in regional and remote NSW. Membership is annual and modest (typically $40-80/year at the chapter level).
Use the Network's chapter finder to locate U3A activities near you, or get in touch to start a chapter in your community.
