Welcome to the GWHS
Gippsland Women's Health Service is an independent, regional service run by women for women based on the social model of health. We provide health promotion programs, advocacy, health information and referral, education and resources which focus on the health and wellbeing of women of all ages.
We offer a free, confidential service for all women and professionals throughout the Gippsland Region.
Our website offers a profile of the Service, a snapshot of our health promotion and family violence prevention programs, and access to health information resources and referral services.
Why women's health?
Women's needs differ to men's needs. By focusing on women's health and wellbeing we are better able to provide services that meet the needs of Gippsland women.
