Caring for our women

Our Women’s Health Program is responsible for leading key priorities of the NSW Health Women’s Health Framework 2013.

The Program provides equal, culturally appropriate access to evidenced based women’s health programs and services. This includes access to cervical screening for Aboriginal women, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) women, women with disability and rural and isolated women.
