This week marks Women's Health Week (September 4-8), which supports women to make informed decisions about their health.
The annual health event, led by national not-for-profit Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, aims to increase awareness and education of women’s health topics including pelvic pain, endometriosis and menopause, and encourage community participation in health checks and screenings.
This year’s theme, ‘Grow Your Knowledge’ aims to make women’s health information easier to understand.
The 2023 program features 30 new fact sheets, a health checks chart for women, feature articles, opinion pieces, podcasts, resources for First Nations women, and new research on pelvic pain in Australian women.
