Jean Hailes for Women’s Health is a national not-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering women to enjoy their best health and wellbeing at every life stage.

Jean Hailes is working to create an Australia in which gender has no influence on health and wellbeing outcomes. We are working collaboratively with and alongside others to systematically identify and overcome structural, social and cultural barriers through a focus on four key pillars: providing health information that women need to make decisions about their health, conducting advocacy that addresses the barriers that women experience, sharing clinical expertise across Australia, and partnerships that connect organisations and initiatives across the health and related sectors to facilitate and drive change for women’s health
