Professor Danielle Mazza for her commitment and dedication to driving research and excellence in healt...h care for women as a GP, researcher and educator that is having an impact on a national and international scale. Maxine Morand for her services to health care, especially women. Her courage and commitment to achieving abortion law reform laid the foundations for women across Victoria to exercise their reproductive rights and access legal abortion.

13.01.2022 Women’s Health Victoria is deeply saddened by the news that the Directions Tree at Djab Wurrung has been destroyed. Thousands of Djab Wurrung babies have been born, over multiple generations, within these sacred birthing trees. In keeping with their commitments to both gender equality and Treaty, we call on the Victorian Government - and their federal counterparts - to protect the remaining trees at Djab Wurrung, which connect generations of Aboriginal women and their communities to Country and culture, and are essential to community health and wellbeing. http://ow.ly/DV2m50C4yhU

13.01.2022 Picture a world where everyone is viewed and treated equally. The advertising industry is built on selling stories about who we are as individuals, who we are in society and our role in the world. But the truth is that the stories we are being told in advertising don’t reflect the reality we live in.... We want to be at the forefront of change. Join us at midday on Monday 23 November for the online launch of the movement to make this change. To realise advertising equality. Register here: http://womenshealthvic.com.au/event-4044414

12.01.2022 The COVID-19 pandemic has been expertly managed by Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The wider health system has much to learn from the success of Indigenous health leadership. #NAIDOCWEEK2020 Read more here: https://www.theguardian.com//its-no-accident-that-blak-aus
