Statement of Purpose
Women's Heath Goulburn North East is a dynamic, feminist organisation committed to working in partnership to improve the health, safety and well-being of women by:
- Identifying, prioritising and responding to the health needs of women, focusing on those who are disadvantaged
- Raising awareness, influencing behaviour, creating choices and sustainable change through health promotion interventions aimed at preventing illness, injury & disease
- Changing attitudes and service delivery to women through research and evaluation
- Providing community education and professional training
- Providing accessible and relevant health information and referral to women
- Creating opportunities for women to participate in decision-making
Our work is underpinned by a social model of health which recognises that a complex array of factors influence a woman's sense of self, health, safety and wellbeing.
We acknowledge women have limited access to social and economic resources.
We respect and affirm diversity among women.
