Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week is Australia’s largest week dedicated to women’s health.
This year’s theme, do it anyway, is about taking small steps towards your health.
Across the week, we’ll be exploring different health topics each day, and providing practical information, expert advice and real stories designed to help women care for their health in ways that feel realistic and achievable.
Explore what’s on during Women’s Health Week 2026 below.
Day 1 – To fuel
Join us on Day 1 of Women’s Health Week as we explore practical nutrition tips, expert insights and the simple food habits that can make a real difference to how you feel.
Day 2 – To move
On Day 2 of Women’s Health Week, we’re reframing what it means to be active. Too often women are told that exercise must be intense, structured or time-consuming to make a difference.
Day 3 – To rest
On Day 3 of Women’s Health Week, we’re giving rest the attention it deserves. Getting good sleep is one of the most powerful things you can do for your health – and for many women in Australia, it’s also one of the most difficult things to achieve. Anxiety, perimenopause, pain, shift work and small children – there are so many reasons sleep doesn’t come easily.
Day 4 – To breathe
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. That’s why Day 4 of Women’s Health Week is all about mental wellbeing, and the many things that can shape how you might feel across your life.
Day 5 – To connect
Today is all about the small steps to finding connection – the voice message to a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, the community group you’ve been meaning to try or the coffee with a neighbour.
