Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsWomen's rights activistsHistoryAfter much community discussion and debate about the need for a women's phone information and referral service, WIRE received government funding and temporary premises at the Flinders Street Railway Building in December 1983. A few months later they moved across the road to Flinders Way Arcade where they stayed until 1993. In 1999 WIRE opened a Women's Information Centre, a drop-in service from a shop-front at 247 Flinders Lane. In 2005 WIRE moved into the Queen Victoria Women's Centre in Lonsdale St. This collection is No.92 of the Victorian Women's Liberation and Lesbian Feminist Archive
