LEARN MOREOUR STORY
Inspired by changing times, Gippsland women really wanted a service for women by women. The ‘Gippsland Women’s Health Project’ commenced in January 1991 at the Macalister Street house in Sale, providing access to information, education and programs to reduce barriers and advocate for Gippsland women.
We continue to work to improve women’s health and wellbeing, influence policy and practice through advocacy and research, working closely with partner organisations and women in Gippsland.
OUR WORK
Working within a feminist framework, our focus areas are:
- Gender equality
- Sexual and Reproductive Health
- Preventing Men’s Violence Against Women
- Family Violence Reform
