About Us

Women's Health at Work is a statewide service. The service implements projects that aim to improve the health and wellbeing of women from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in the workplace.

The projects undertaken by Women’s Health at Work are selected according to the following criteria:

• the target population is CALD women in the workplace

• the Women's Health at Work Steering Committee agrees that women identified in a particular workplace experience disadvantage which impacts on their mental or physical health

• there is demonstrated need amongst the selected population

• projects are in keeping with social and preventative health education strategies

• projects should demonstrate a strong likelihood of success

• projects should demonstrate sustainable outcomes for the population

• there are sufficient resources available to support the process of development, implementation, evaluation and publication

• projects should focus on issues that have not been addressed by unions, Workcover or other CALD women’s advisory groups.
