Choices at Midlife – Health Session in Bendigo for Women  

Australian Education Union (AEU) members are invited to attend a special midlife women’s health event at 7pm on May 2 at James King Hall, Bendigo Senior Secondary College in Rosalind Park, presented by experts from the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health.

The Foundation has formed a partnership with the AEU to educate women about health and wellbeing. The AEU is very aware that education is a demanding area to work in and is keen to support its’ members in managing professional pressures and health issues.
