Women’s Health Week 2025
The theme for this year’s Women’s Health Week is Say Yes to You.
The purpose of this year’s theme is to help women prioritise their health and wellbeing. Many women get caught up in the busyness of life, and are likely to put their health and wellbeing needs on the back burner. This Women’s Health Week, take a moment to pause and check in with yourself or a woman you know about their health and wellbeing.
You might consider - Have you been putting off that doctor’s appointment or health check? Have you had something to eat today? When’s the last time you moved your body? Are you feeling burnt out and exhausted? How’s your sleep? Are you feeling constantly overwhelmed, anxious, stressed or depressed? Are you in constant pain, or struggling with your period?
Here are some tips to help you Say Yes to You:
Taking 5-10 minutes a day to yourself. This might mean arriving somewhere a bit earlier and sitting in the car or waking a little earlier to enjoy your morning coffee or tea.
Always pack yourself a snack and a water bottle, especially if you are going to be out and about. Snacks such as muesli bars or nuts are handy as they can fit in your bag, and are quick and easy to eat.
If you’re struggling to add movement into your routine, try doing an extra lap around a shopping centre or parking further away from the entrance. Every extra step counts!
Speak with your GP about what health checks you might need (i.e. cervical, bowel, breast) or if you’ve been struggling with tiredness, pain or your period.
If you’re struggling with your mental wellbeing, speak with your GP to find out more about if a Mental Health Care Plan is right for you. Alternatively, you can contact our friendly reception team on 4723 8221 to find out more about how we can support you or a woman you care about.
Please note: the information above is a summary and a guide only and should not replace proper medical care and guidance. If you or woman you care about is experiencing any of the abovementioned symptoms or has concerns for their health, it is important to know that support is available. Have a conversation, check-in with your GP, psychologist or a trusted medical professional.
