Through the work that we do, we aim to improve the health and welfare of all persons, especially women and children in the Australian community, and to promote the professional and personal development of medical women locally, nationally and internationally.
VMWS aims to represent the interests of medical women and advocate for the health of all, especially women and children. Topics include Climate Emergency, Reproductive and Sexual Health options/support, Gender-Specific Medicine, Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery, Equitable Pay, Parental Support, Part-Time Training, Violence Against Women and more.
If you would like the VMWS to represent or advocate for you and/or to form a collaboration or partnership, please contact us.
VMWS participates in and coordinates a range of projects, resources and initiatives, including a Job Sharing Initiative, the VMWS Archiving Project, Happy Healthy Women, Not Just Survivors, and opportunities to attend UN and WHO events internationally.
