Healthier Women making healthier choices

Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week is a week dedicated to all women across Australia to make good health a priority.

Women’s Health Week is the biggest week in Australia focusing on good health and wellbeing for women and girls. Run by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, the campaign takes a preventative approach to good health by providing resources, tips and information on maintaining good health.

Community and workplace events are held nationally, and together with Jean Hailes’ free online activities and learning materials, the campaign aims to help women make well-informed choices when it comes to their health and wellbeing.

Women’s Health Week, 5-11 September 2022, is a timely reminder for women to take positive and practical steps to being healthy in mind and body. For more information on how to celebrate Women’s Health Week visit womenshealthweek.com.au.

It's all about you

Women's Health Week is a nation-wide campaign of events and online activities – all centred on improving women's health and helping you to make healthier choices. 

Every September, for one week, Women’s Health Week is a reminder to set aside time for your health and wellbeing. Make an appointment for a health check, get active, join an event or simply connect with other women. You don't have to do it alone.

Prioritising your health – both physical and mental – has never been more important. Over the past few years, many women have put off taking care of their general health and wellness needs. They have adjusted their daily routines, including the way they connect with family and friends. The combination has led to serious health problems for some women.

Why Women's Health Week?

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 subscribed to take part in a week of events and online activities, learning more their health.

Now in its 10th year, Women's Health Week is a celebration of women in Australia, women from all walks of life. In 2021 (despite a second year impacted by lockdowns and restrictions), more than 128,000 women participated in 2277 events, over 54,000 women subscribed to the online campaign and we reached over 3.6 million people via social media.

We are proud that Women's Health Week attracts the support of organisations, high profile ambassadors, businesses, community, sporting and media groups across the country.
