Women's Health Policy for Victoria

The 10-Point Plan for Victorian Women's Health 2006-2010 has been developed to provide a framework for action. Gender as a determinant of health must be reflected in mainstream health policy and in health programs and services. This plan recognises the impact of gender in health and health inequalities and seeks to address these.

The combined direct participation of 13 organisations, together with the support and contribution of numerous other organisations has helped make this plan and project successful.

The 10-Point Plan is available here. (PDF 128KB)

A background paper entitled Setting an Agenda compliments and builds on the 10-Point Plan providing a context for the plan's initiation and advocating for fulfilment of its objectives. Setting an Agenda background paper is available here. (PDF 329KB)
