We are launching a new option for post-abortion support.

Reproductive Options/ Coercion Training

This training supports workers and organisations to deliver best practice health care and support to people who are seeking or considering an abortion and to identify and respond to reproductive coercion.

You will leave this training with:
• Skills in giving information and referrals in non-directive, trauma-informed ways
• Health pathways for abortion in Tasmania

Abortion Access Advocacy Workshops

We are looking for community members to spread the word that abortion is legal, available and affordable in Tasmania.

Why? Because too many people think it is not.

At our workshop we will share information about this health service with you and we'll give you the tools to be able to share the information with others.

What does PMDD mean? A Webinar

PMDD means Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder! It’s a cyclical, hormone-based mood disorder. It’s linked to the menstrual cycle, but it’s so much more than feeling sad or irritable before your period comes.

We're looking for Peer Workers

Applications are now closed.

Thank you for your interest in the Peer Worker opportunity with Women’s Health Tasmania (WHT).

We're looking for people who have had experience of having an abortion in Tasmania in the last 10 years to join our team as Peer Workers.

Why do I need to have ‘lived experience of having had an abortion’?

What's with Women and ADHD? A Webinar

Why is everyone is talking about women and ADHD?

Because it's different. On Tuesday the 12th of March 2024, Women's Health Tasmania hosted a webinar about women's experience of ADHD. Our guest speaker was Dr Maddi Derrick, a Clinical Psychologist and the founding Director of the Hobart ADHD Consultants.

Period Undies are back!

Thanks to all your generous donations we are able to offer more free period undies to people in Tasmania!

Our Undies Project sends people on low incomes 5 pairs of period friendly underwear in their size. Period friendly undies absorb moisture. They are reusable. They're better for the planet and they're cheaper than buying single use items!

You'll leave this workshop with a new take on self-care; feeling confident and knowledgeable.

This workshop is interactive, supportive and full of practical tips for managing your wellbeing.

Menopause Workshop - Shining light on the mystery of menopause, together.

What is menopause?  

Is it awful? Are there good things about it? 

Am I there yet? How will I know? 

How does my body change with menopause? 

Are there things I can do to feel better with these changes? 

 

Do you want answers to these and other questions you have about menopause?
