Women's Health Week 2025

14% of serving ADF or Veterans in the 2021 Census were women. By 2035 it is estimated to be 35% Adding to the numbers above, are the partners and families who make up the wider Defence community, which highlights the need to discuss and promote women's health and wellbeing topics and initiatives.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is particularly keen to encourage women within the Defence community to engage with Women's Health Week 2025.

It runs from 1 - 5 September and the week includes free events that will cover topics such as health checks, pain, hormones and food.

Obviously any woman (Defence, veteran or otherwise) will benefit from this initiative being run by Jean Hailes and is funded partially by the Australian Government.

To receive your five days of health tips, recipes, resources or to attend one of the many events being held in September, head to Women's Health Week to sign up. Public events including in-person and online will be listed on Jean's website in the lead up to 1 September. Visit now by clicking on the link above and check out what is being offered.

If you sign up and get involved, please comment below and tell me (Ro6in) what you thought of the program and if there were any benefits for you. I'd love to hear.
