Women's Health Services
Women's Health Service
The Women's Health Service acknowledges 'wellness' as being inclusive of the physical, emotional, environmental, psychological, spiritual and mental well being of women.
We recognise that women's health issues can arise due to inequities for women within our culture, and therefore believe in women-centred approaches, which value women's wisdom and support them in making their own informed health choices. Women seek counselling for many different reasons. The National Women's Health Program has identified some contributing factors below:
Specialist Homelessness Services
Specialist Homelessness Service
The Specialist Homelessness service aims to:
- Provide services in a way that promotes the privacy, dignity, self-esteem and independence of women
- To provide services on a non-discriminatory, and culturally appropriate way
- To provide referrals to the other community and government agencies to provide the most effective service for the benefit of women
The specialist homelessness service aims to provide support for women to transition out of homelessness into housing, or to provide support to prevent homelessness through providing support and practical assistance to access and maintain housing.
