About us:
The Women's Health Services Network has been a driving force progressing and shaping Victoria’s women’s health and equality space for four decades.
Today, the 12 women’s health services funded through the state government’s Victorian Women’s Health Program operate under the title the ‘Victorian Women’s Health Services Network’. This enables us to work as a coordinated, mutually reinforcing network comprising both specialist and place-based services across the state.
We are the only Australian state or territory with this unique infrastructure and reach, supporting the health system to create the best possible health outcomes for all women and gender diverse Victorians.
