About us

We champion women’s health and advance gender equity throughout Melbourne’s east

We are an independent women’s health promotion organisation working in Melbourne’s east to build an equitable and inclusive society, so that women experience their best health and wellbeing.

We work directly with local governments, healthcare providers, organisations and communities, helping them understand the causes and impacts of gender inequality, and supporting them to make the institutional changes needed for fairer, healthier and safer communities.

We deliver health promotion programs for, and with, local women who experience marginalisation and disadvantage to advance their health, safety and wellbeing.

Women’s Health East is one of 12 women’s health services across Victoria. We are a registered charity and donations of $2 and over are fully tax deductible.
