The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Victoria (WCTU), now trading under the name WCTU Drug-Free Lifestyles, is a branch of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, based in the State of Victoria, in Australia. It was founded before the Federation of Australia, in the Colony of Victoria, in 1887, when the 12 existing local branches in the colony, the first of which was established in 1885, merged to form a colonial union. Its purpose was primarily promoting total abstinence of alcohol, and members sign a pledge of abstinence.
The WCTU adopted the original motto of the international organisation For God and Home and Native Land, and the symbol of the white ribboned bow.
