Showcasing the vital work of the Victorian Women's Health Sector

Advocacy

Feb 28, 2024

GenWest joined Women's Health Services from across Victoria at Queens Hall in Parliament House to showcase the crucial role we all play in promoting the health, wellbeing and safety of women in our communities.

Our teams spoke with parliamentarians, showcasing the important work we do and providing insights into the issues and challenges women are facing in Melbourne's west.

Parliamentarians and other stakeholders gathered with Women's Health Services staff to hear about the vital work we do and the issues and challenges facing women across Victoria.

We spoke with parliamentarians about access to surgical abortion in the west, the care economy, how we know prevention works, the impact of disasters in urban contexts, and building strong community champions for the prevention of violence in diverse communities.

This unique opportunity is about sparking meaningful conversations and paving the way for positive change.

We'd like to thank all the parliamentarians who came to speak with us and pledged their support for women's health.
