Women’s Health Grampians acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Australia’s First Peoples and the Traditional Owners of the lands, waterways and skies where we live, work and play. We celebrate that this is the oldest continuous living culture in the world, and that sovereignty was never ceded. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
Across the Grampians region, we acknowledge Wurundjeri, Wadawurrung, Dja Dja Warrung, Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergeia and Jupagalk Country.

Sport plays a powerful role in shaping community attitudes towards gender. We can all be part of making our fields and club rooms places of equal opportunity and celebration ⚽️🏈⚾️🏐🏉⛳️Thank you to the Moorabool Shire Council for the opportunity to be a part of the sport and active recreation Female Friendly Education Forum last week at the Darley Civic and Community Hub.
The clubs and organisations in attendance were provided with a range of valuable information.
Dee from Women's Health Grampians shared how they recognise the power of sport in preventing violence against women. Sport can be a great vehicle for change and place social issues such as violence against women on the radar of the community and start a conversation on hard to talk about topics. Dee also outlined the many benefits for sporting clubs in becoming a member of the Communities of Respect & Equality Alliance and the opportunity for clubs to fast-track gender equality outcomes through the Act@Play program.
Our organisation discussed ways to design and deliver new sporting opportunities for women and girls by utilising VicHealth's Doing Sport Differently principles. Interesting discussions were held in relation to engaging potential participants in the program design process to reduce barriers and fulfil motivations, and the key touchpoints clubs and organisations have with participants prior to, during and at the conclusion of programs. ...

We were delighted to stand alongside some of our Victorian Women's Health Services colleagues from across the state last week to share the impact and value of the work we do with members of the Victorian government, including our own Juliana Addison MP and Parliamentary Secretary for Women's Health Kat Theophanous MP Eliminating violence against women and working towards gender equality needs an all-hands-on-deck approach, including strong leadership from all levels of government, and we feel fortunate to be working in a supportive environment.What a great way to finish off the parliamentary sitting week – catching up with our Victorian Women’s Health Services!
These statewide and regional services do a power of work in gender equality and women’s health promotion across the state.
Big thank you for coming to speak to us about everything from miscarriage, to abortion access, to preventing violence against women and supporting bicultural health workers 💜

Hooray for World Sexual Health Day! And what better theme than 'consent', a concept that sits at the heart of respectful relationships and is now enshrined in Victorian law via the The Justice Legislation Amendment (Sexual Offences and Other Matters) Bill 2022.
