Women’s Health week 7-11 SEPTEMBER 2015
This year Women’s health week will be launching their new campaign No more elephants! It is time to get rid of the elephant in the room and get talking about women’s health.
In 2013, realising that there was no event dedicated to women’s health in Australia, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health ran the very first national Women’s Health Week. Thousands of women across Australia registered to take part in a week of online activities, videos, resources and information.
Now in its 3rd year the event continues to gain groundswell nationally and Jean Hailes provides health information and free resources to support thousands of registrants and hundreds of local events organised by communities Australia-wide.
Over 3300 women and health professionals completed a survey telling them what women worry about and what information they would like to hear about when it comes to their health.
During the five days of the 2015 Women’s Health Week (7-11 September) they will focus on what women want to know about their health:
Monday – What do women want to talk about?
Tuesday – Myths: what have you heard?
Wednesday – Silent topics: what’s not being talked about?
Thursday – Ask someone: who & what to ask
Friday – Now what? Tell us your pledge
