About us

We are the national voice on women’s health. Our aim is to achieve gender equity in health for all women.

We do this:

by highlighting how gender shapes experiences of health and health care, recognising that women's health is determined by social, cultural, environmental and political factors
by drawing attention to the issues, often far reaching, that impact women’s health
as a national health peak body, by working closely with our members, partners and government to effect change.

This section provides further detail about our vision, collective impact and the people behind the scenes.
