About Women’s Health Week

Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week occurs every year at the start of September. In 2026 it will run from 7 to 11 September.

The Women’s Health Week campaign is owned and run by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health.

After signing up to Women’s Health Week, you’ll receive regular emails from Jean Hailes with updates, ways to get involved and evidence-based women’s health information. You can unsubscribe at any time.

If you’re encountering difficulties with the online registration process, there are a couple of troubleshooting steps you can try. First, consider switching to a different web browser or clear your browser’s cache and cookies. Often, this can resolve technical issues with online forms.

If you’re still unable to proceed with the registration, don’t worry! Email us at whw@jeanhailes.org.au and provide as much detail about your event as possible. We’ll assist you further from there.

If you’re hosting an event during Women’s Health Week 2026, you’ll gain access to a series of free videos featuring trusted health experts, practical advice and real conversations about women’s health. The videos are designed to help women take small, realistic steps towards their health — in ways that work for everyday life.

If you’ve signed up as a Women’s Health Week host, keep an eye on your inbox to access the video series. We’ll be releasing them in early August ahead of your event.

The video series will explore a range of women’s health topics aligned to the daily themes of Women’s Health Week, including mental health, movement, nutrition, sleep, social connection and more.

The videos are designed to be shared in person or during a digital Women’s Health Week event and are not to be shared or published online.

Absolutely. We encourage workplaces and community groups to play the videos at events and use them as conversation starters during Women’s Health Week.

The videos will remain available after the campaign and will be published publicly by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, so women can continue accessing trusted health information throughout the year.

No, Jean Hailes does not run or host Women’s Health Week events directly. We coordinate the national campaign, provide resources and promote the week, while individuals, workplaces and communities create events that work best for them.

We love that you want to get involved and spread the word!

Yes! You can make a one-off donation or setup a fundraiser using our fundraising platform Raisely. If you are undertaking a major fundraising campaign in our organisation’s name, please contact us. As a condition of event registration, event hosts are prohibited from raising funds for other organisations during their Women’s Health Week event.

Unfortunately, due to rising costs and limited resourcing, we were unable to afford enough bags to meet the predicted demand this year. We’re providing a small number of bags to a small number of partner organisations who work with women facing barriers to achieving good health and wellbeing.

We understand that, for many, the bags have been a cherished part of celebrating Women’s Health Week. We’re genuinely sorry if you’re disappointed, but we have to prioritise getting trusted health information to women across Australia with our limited resources.

If you work for an Indigenous, multicultural or refugee organisation – you can order bags by getting in touch with our friendly team. Just tell us about the organisation or community group you’re affiliated with. Send us your details at whw@jeanhailes.org.au.
