This week is Women’s Health Week, Australia’s largest annual event dedicated to the health and wellbeing of women, girls and gender-diverse people 💜

This year’s theme ‘Do It Anyway’ encourages small steps towards better health and wellbeing.

Mental health is an important part of overall health, and many factors — including life stages, hormonal changes, caring responsibilities and everyday pressures — can affect mental wellbeing.

Women’s Health Week is an opportunity to raise awareness, encourage conversations and recognise the importance of equitable access to information, care and support.
