Women’s Health Week 2022

Women’s Health Week is a nationwide campaign centred on improving the health and wellbeing of women, girls, and gender diverse people.

It’s all about you is the theme for this year’s Women’s Health Week. This 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.

“It may seem absurd, but women need reminding that it’s okay to put themselves first. So often they put the needs of family, friends, even their pets, above their own,” says Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week & Community Engagement Manager Renea Camilleri.

“These seven days will be a perfect opportunity to prioritise their own health.”

Each day of Women’s Health Week features a different focus area:

Day 1, Monday 5^th September: Check me out – health checks at every age

Day 2, Tuesday 6^th September: Menopause matters – menopause and perimenopause

Day 3, Wednesday 7^th September: Pelvic power – pelvic floor health and pelvic pain

Day 4, Thursday 8^th September: Mind health – mental wellbeing and brain health

Day 5, Friday 9^th September: Move and improve – physical activity and your health.

Yarra Ranges Council supports Women’s Health Week with a reminder to set aside time for your health and wellbeing.
