For almost 40 years VicHealth has been a global leader in health promotion, setting an international standard for public health, built on deep trust and goodwill from stakeholders and partners. Healthy communities are happier, more prosperous and safer – especially for women and children.
Over many years, VicHealth has led the foundations of primary prevention work in Victoria, and across Australia. Primary prevention work is critical to ending violence against women.
Prioritising chronic disease prevention and preserving the legacy of VicHealth’s world leading prevention and promotion work is critical to maintaining the health and wellbeing of Victorian communities.
With the healthcare systems increasingly under pressure in responding to the consequences of chronic disease, a dedicated health promotion and prevention model is essential in keeping Victorians healthier for longer.
Victoria is a proud leader in primary prevention – this can’t change. The Women’s Health Services Network seeks an ongoing commitment to a sustained investment in evidence-based health promotion and primary prevention.

About Women's Health Services Network
The Women's Health Services Network has been a driving force progressing and shaping Victoria’s women’s health and equality space for four decades. While our services were established and funded independently of one another, collaboration has been a strong part of our history. Today, the 12 women’s health services funded through the state government’s Victorian Women’s Health Program collaborate under the title the ‘Victorian Women’s Health Services Network’. This enables us to work as a coordinated, mutually-reinforcing statewide network comprising both place-based and specialist services.
