Women's Health Victoria (WHV) welcomes the release of the Senate Community Affairs References Committee’s report on Issues Related to Menopause and Perimenopause. This significant inquiry marks an important step in addressing the often-overlooked challenges faced by women during perimenopause and menopause.
A unique new online resource is equipping women with reliable information and positive portrayals of older bodies to encourage older women to live active and connected lives on their own terms.
We are co-signatories to this statement calling on the Australian Government to adopt an Equal Access costs model for all discrimination matters. Women's Health Victoria is a member of the Power to Prevent Coalition.
The Power to Prevent Coalition, representing over 60 organisations in the legal, health, community, family violence, business and union sectors, is calling on the Australian Government to act now to prevent sexual harassment at work by implementing all remaining recommendations of the Respect@Work report.
Women in Victoria can now seek support for their sexual and reproductive health needs from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, with the 1800 My Options phone service expanding its hours from September 1, 2021.
