#WomensHealthWeek has begun!

Jean Hailes Women's Health Week is a week dedicated to all women across Australia to make good health a priority.

Every September, for one week, Women's Health Week is a reminder to set aside time for your health and wellbeing. Make an appointment for a health check, get active, join an event or simply connect with other women. You don't have to do it alone.

Day 1: Check me out

We kick off Women's Health Week 2022 with a day dedicated to health checks. What are the health checks you need at different ages to stay well? Are your checks up to date? Find out today.

Day 2: Menopause matters

Time to talk menopause and the lead-up to this life stage - known as perimenopause. Let's clear up the confusion with expert advice on what to ask your GP, treatment options and how to navigate these life stages. Check out the handy links below!

Day 3: Pelvic power

Today we turn our attention to pelvic floor health and pelvic pain. Bladder leakage and painful sex might not be popular topics of conversation, but that won't stop us from delving in!

Day 4: Mind health

Time to zero in on mental wellbeing and brain health. We take a deep dive on anxiety, plus we look at brain fog, sleeping when stressed, and the simple changes you can make to better support your mind.

Day 5: Move and improve

Time to get moving! On Day 5, learn why physical activity of any kind has great benefits for your body and brain, and how to make movement a part of your daily life.

If any of the week's topics have you thinking about your own health, be proactive and book an appointment with your GP!
