About Us
Women’s Health Care Association was formed in 1977, with the primary aim of providing quality health care to socially disadvantaged women in Western Australia.
Our mission is to create opportunities for women and their families to improve their own and the community’s health and well being.
Nearly 30 years on, services for women, and their families have been broadened and expanded to respond to the changing needs and diversity of women across Western Australia. Services are provided by, for and with women.
In 2005 women from over 60 nationalities and all age groups, accessed our services, the result being over 45,000 individual and group sessions. 200 women from 20 rural locations participated in the 2005 Tele health promotion series.

Your donation will help us make this dream a reality. Your support is appreciated and will be acknowledged in the new centre.
A block of land has been secured for this development, located on Newcastle Street in Northbridge and an application for a capital grant towards the building of a new centre has been submitted to Lotterywest. SPONSOR A SERVICE OR PROGRAM

However, government funding is never enough to meet the identified and emerging needs of women and their families. So we are seeking donations and sponsorship of programs and services. For example, we need ongoing funding:
