Women’s Health Victoria is a statewide, feminist, not-for-profit leading the pursuit of gender equity in health. We work with government, the health sector and the community to create better health outcomes for women (cis and trans inclusive) and gender diverse people.
We deliver a range of online and interactive training for individuals and workplaces all with a focus on building understanding and capability in addressing gender inequity. Our priority focus areas are prevention of gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, mental health and chronic disease.
At Women’s Health Victoria we work with individuals and a broad range of workplaces including prescribed entities under the Gender Equality Act (Vic).
This is what they say about our courses.
Abortion, Contraception and Sexual Health: Supporting Client Access
I'm an SRH professional and will be recommending this course as training for midwives in a major public hospital.
Understanding and Addressing Sexual Harassment in the workplace
This was very informative to me and I think it would be an especially useful course that should be completed in all workplaces.
Bystander action in the workplace
As a man it was confronting to be met with the data and experiences of gender-based violence, the info and tools given here are enlightening and practical.
Gender Equity in Action
A useful and informative module presented in an easy to use format.
Gender and Disability
This was a very important and good course that I would recommend to everyone.
Evaluating Gender Equity Work
The way it explained participatory action research is very clear and it helped me understand a concept that is often explained in an overcomplicated manner.
Building Stakeholder Support for Gender Equality
Very useful course to understand how to gather support for gender equality and usefully engage with stakeholders to support GE work.
Communicating Gender Equity Work
The course is empowering me with the language and resources to use.
Self Care for Gender Equity Work
Important reflective activity that highlights the stress and personal pressure that comes along with social justice work.
Gender Equality in Advertising Workplaces
The trainers shared so much information, I feel like I have gotten so many useful resources and I feel motivated to learn more.
Gender Equality in Advertising
The course topic is one that needs to be spoken about Really enjoyed the interactivity of the course It did make me relook at some things from a different perspective Gave an actionable direction.
Introduction to Gender Equality
This course is an excellent foundational course which would be able to be used by people of many ages.
Gender Transformative Practice Masterclass
The course really helped to push my thinking towards initiatives and approaches which have the potential to TRANSFORM structures, norms and behaviours. Although this course obviously focuses on gender, I have found that the learnings have allowed me to extrapolate this and consider approaches that could transform structures, norms and behaviours around other health determinants.
Introduction to Prevention of Violence against Women
This is absolutely gold for supporting us to explain why we are working in prevention........Great to have more of an emphasis on the prevention.
Being an Active Bystander to Prevent Violence Against Women
Thank you for providing this course and sharing this with members at my workplace. This is such an important issue, it's great to be having these discussions and learning how we can work towards reducing violence against women.
Safe & Supported in the workplace
So sensitively and professionally handled – I hope all people leaders throughout our organisation attend.
Course in Gender Equity
It is changing the way you think so it's resonating - it's very deep - it's not just an education level, it's actually changing how you see things. It affects your views, your beliefs, your values, the whole fabric of who you are.
Apply a Gender Lens
I thought the course was great, very useful and beneficial with the current requirements for gender reporting (Gender Equality Act).
Storytelling for Change Masterclass
Any training that gives you sweaty palms means there is much to learn and benefit from doing this course. There were many learning edges reflecting the very high standard in content and the high expectations and challenges the facilitators bring to the content.
