GenWest joined our sister organisations from Victoria's Women’s Health Services Network at Queen’s Hall in the Parliament of Victoria to showcase the local impact and statewide reach of women’s health services across Victoria.
From February 17 to 19, leaders and community from Victoria's Women's Health Services Network spoke with MPs and sector leaders, securing pledges in support of our sector's work.
The conversations reinforced what we already know: women’s health services are essential to Victoria’s health and prevention system. From policy advocacy to place-based programs, our work connects women and communities to vital health and wellbeing supports.
The final day of the showcase culminated in a forum, opened with remarks from Minister Mary-Anne Thomas, followed by a keynote from Dr Adele Murdolo, highlighting the critical role women’s health services play in building healthier communities for every woman in Victoria.
We were proud to see community leader, Harindar (Nina) Kaur of Ladies Club 60, whose work with older migrant women in Melbourne’s west demonstrates how trusted, culturally safe engagement strengthens prevention from the ground up.
Thank you to the Victorian Government for hosting this important showcase and creating space for women’s health services to demonstrate the impact happening in communities right across the state.
