We promote women’s health by working with individuals, community groups and organisations and government. We believe that all aspects of women’s lives affect their health and wellbeing. We aim to provide a range of options for women so they can make informed choices about their own health. We value women’s diversity, experience and knowledge. We provide balanced information, independent of health care provider interests. Operating since 1982, and incorporated in 1985, the organisation continues to develop as a leader in the provision of quality health information for women and health practitioners throughout Queensland. Women's Health Queensland Wide Inc. is a not for profit incorporated association, primarily funded by the State and Federal Governments, with funding administered by Queensland Health. HistoryPreviously known as Women's Health Centre Brisbane Inc., the organisation has been a leading women's health agency since 1982.
