We’re a state-wide not-for-profit, working with government, the health sector and the community to improve health outcomes for women (cis and trans inclusive) and gender diverse people.
As a leading feminist organisation since 1993, we advocate for women’s health rights and access, provide expert health information and resources, and operate vital support services to the community, so that all Victorians have the opportunity to access optimal health and wellbeing, free from bias and discrimination.
Our key areas include sexual and reproductive health, mental health and wellbeing, cancer, and other barriers to living a healthy life like gendered violence, sexism and misogyny.
Are you wanting to elevate your knowledge of gender equity, or the prevention of gender-based violence? Keen to become a champion for change in your workplace?
At Women's Health Victoria, we offer a wide variety of online and in-person training courses and credentials to help organisations, employees and individuals create a more gender equal society.
