The Victorian Women's Post and Telegraph Association was founded in 1900 at a time when women were banned from joining the existing Post and Telegraph Association. At the time, women regularly performed duties in post offices and worked as telegraphists, but were being paid significantly less than their male counterparts.

The association continued its existence within the Australian Commonwealth Post and Telegraph Association as a state association and then a state branch of the federal body until 1920.
