At the South West Women’s Health and Information Centre, we acknowledge the Wardandi Noongar people, the Traditional Custodians of the land where we work and gather. We deeply respect their enduring connection to land, water, culture and community, and pay tribute to Elders past and present.
We warmly acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and families, and celebrate the diverse women and communities who connect with SWWHIC, including women of all cultures, backgrounds, abilities, sexualities, gender identities and life experiences.

The South West Women’s Health and Information Centre is a site for delivering the positive message of Act-Belong-Commit to promote a mentally healthy WA:
Act
Keep mentally, physically, socially and spiritually active: take a walk, say g’day, read a book, do a crossword, dance, play cards, stop for a chat.
Belong
Join a book club, take a cooking class, be more involved in groups you are already a member of, go along to community events.
Commit
Take up a cause, help a neighbour, learn something new, take on a challenge, volunteer.
We encourage every woman to adopt this lifestyle to improve the wellbeing of yourself and your family.
Privacy
South West Women’s Health and Information Centre is committed to providing a private and confidential service to all women.
