Women’s Health Victoria is a statewide women’s health promotion, advocacy and support service. Our vision is women living well - healthy, empowered and equal.

We collaborate with women, health professionals, researchers, policy makers, service providers and community organisations to influence and inform health policy and service delivery for women. Our health promotion, information and support programs work with and for women, to identify and respond to service gaps and health inequalities in innovative ways.  

We advocate and build system capacity for a gendered approach to health across several priority areas by publishing targeted research, producing policy submissions, compiling gendered data, developing resources, delivering training and events, and running programs and services.
