As the regional women’s health service for the northern metropolitan region of Melbourne, Women’s Health In the North undertakes a number of activities to support the health and wellbeing of women who live and/or work in the region, including:

•  Health information and community education to women;

•  Training to service providers on women’s health issues;

•  Innovative health promotion and community development projects that improve the
   experience and quality of women's health and wellbeing;

•  Collaborative partnerships with health providers to improve services and
   programs for women; and

•  Research and advocacy on women’s health and wellbeing needs.

WHIN has 16 years experience in providing services to women in the region, and
has particular expertise in meeting the needs of women who are most marginalised by
the health system, and who might generally be referred to as ‘hard to reach’ or ‘at risk’.
WHIN is committed to making all the difference to the health and wellbeing of women
in Melbourne’s north.*

* Covering the municipalities of Banyule, Darebin, Hume, Moreland, Nillumbik, Whittlesea
