Women's Health Works - Perth Women's Health Issues

WOMEN’S Healthworks is a dynamic and innovative health, education and referral service for women in the northern suburbs of Perth. Our aim is to empower women, enabling them to make informed decisions about their health and well being, by providing information, health promotion, education, counselling and medical clinics in an environment which values and believes in the capacity of each individual.

WOMEN’S Healthworks is one of 12 women’s health centres across metropolitan and regional Western Australia. Some of these centres have provided services by women for women since the early 1970s. All provide a holistic, woman-centred approach to primary health care provision, blending medical and clinical services with a range of counselling, health promotion education, self-help and consumer advocacy services that respond to the needs of women.

The rationale for a women’s health centre in the northern suburbs was to assist in meeting the health needs of women in the fastest growing area of Perth. The general demographics of the region showed the population to be isolated by geographic and transport factors with families often living under significant financial stress. Also, many women living in this area are born overseas, resulting in a high likelihood of limited family networks.
