Women’s Health Week it’s your week

Women’s Health Week is a week for every woman in Australia. How can you join in? Putting the wellbeing of others ahead of our own is something many women do without thinking. The Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week is a great reminder that we need to take time to check in on our own health and wellbeing.

Held every year in September since 2013, communities, health professionals and organisations across Australia participate in a range of events that bring women of all ages together.

In 2020, our hosts registered 1437 Women’s Health Week events. You can join them this year and help more women make their health a priority. You can:

• ensure women across Australia are aware of the health services in their local community

• encourage women to check in with their health and their health checks

• raise awareness of the importance of maintaining good health and preventing future health problems

• raise funds to help us help more women and girls get the health support they deserve

• link women within their community and help them support each other to make healthy decisions

• share ideas and information about how to live a healthier life or

• simply connect and support women in your community.
