Board Director

Women’s Health West is seeking applications to join our skills based, voluntary Board of Directors. You will be joining the Board at an exciting time as we embark on the organisation’s bold new 5 year strategy.

Our mission at Women’s Health West is supporting women and their children to lead safe and healthy lives, and changing the conditions that cause and maintain inequity and injustice. We do this through the provision of family violence services, health promotion activities and advocacy. We support women in all their diversity to have a greater voice in local leadership and decision making.
