Thursday 24 November | 5PM | Little Theatre
2022 marks 30 years of Gippsland Women’s Health. After a six-week roadshow throughout Gippsland, the GWH team are celebrating by bringing three of Australia’s inspiring, powerhouse women to our region, to discuss gender equality, prevention of violence against women and women’s rights.
From the 12th of September to the 21st of October 2022, the GWH team hit the road with one clear goal - to connect with women and understand first-hand what it is they need to support their safety, health and wellbeing.
The GWH Regional Roadshow was an opportunity to celebrate the work of Gippsland Women’s Health, to showcase the diversity of Gippsland and to reconnect with our local communities.
The outcome? A clear understanding that our Gippsland women urgently need better access to quality health care and services. Women who need to improve their sexual and reproductive health knowledge. Women fighting for gender equality. And most evident of all - women who need our communities and leaders to commit to the elimination of violence against women.
Our AGM is an opportunity for our Gippsland community to come together and celebrate 30 Years of GWH. Joining us on stage will be:
