The health issues that women experience are many and varied. They are not just about the reproductive ‘bits’ of our bodies but also about the various aspects that affect our health through our relationships, work, culture and the society within which we live. Health Issues Centre’s mission is to improve the health outcomes for Australians, especially those who are disadvantaged. It works with a wide range of consumers, health providers, researchers, governments and other health organisations to achieve this through:policy analysis and advocacy from consumer and equity perspectives, consumer focused research, promoting and supporting consumer participation.
