Women's health and wellbeing support groups event

Women enter a conference room as a presentation beings, one of them is pushing a stroller with a child. A participant arrives and is guided to the conference room. A group people are laughing and talking outside the conference room. A woman is standing up at a table in the conference room and addressing the audience. 

Shaina (Shifra & Puah): It's very exciting for me to be part of this from the government. I'm, I'm excited to meet different other organizations who are supporting women and really it's, it's cross pollination.

Women are sitting around tables at the event discussing with each other. 

Heti (Women’s Health in the North): I love getting new ideas and it makes me really think about what else we could do to better serve women in our community. It allows for a greater collaboration between different sectors and partnerships that you might not have realized were happening.

Paula (Zoe Support): There's a lot of amazing people doing amazing work. It's always great to get out and to see other services in action and to hear what they're doing and to make connections with, with other places so that we can, we can lean on them a little bit to help us to achieve what we want to achieve.

Somaya (Wellsprings for Women): You know, that Afghanistan countries are not too much improving the woman's health and we know that, uh, good, uh, information today, this program is very enjoyable.

Cindy (Women’s Health Victoria): I've learned a lot about the other presenters and what they do, and I've written down lots of websites to go back and look at later. I think that's really valuable and to take that back to our team and also to take back to our volunteers so that when they're talking to other women, they can actually say there's these other services that are available if you need them.

Bhakdi (Women’s Health Goulburn North East): Each woman has a specific need and specific knowledge and expertise, and working in a partnership and collaborations with them is fantastic.
