Women's Health Victoria Information

Women living well – healthy, empowered, equal. Women’s Health Victoria is a not-for-profit, statewide women’s health promotion, information and advocacy service. We work with health professionals and policy-makers to influence and inform health policy and to improve service delivery for women. Our work is underpinned by a social model of health and a commitment to reducing inequities in health which arise from social, economic and environmental determinants. By incorporating a gendered approach to health promotion that focuses on women, interventions to reduce inequality and improve health outcomes are more effective and equitable. In addition to health promotion and advocacy, we provide a number of direct services. Women’s Health Victoria acknowledges the support of the Victorian Government.
