Projects & Initiatives
The VMWS has embarked on several initiatives and projects over the years. These aim to either shed further light on the issues that we advocate for, or assist medical women both professionally and personally.

The VMWS Archiving Project
We have a rich history and we celebrate it proudly, as we are fortunate to have a long line of creative and empowered women that paved the way for us since the 1800s. We collect, digitise and aim to share their stories.
Marvellous Medical Women
This project documents the stories of medical women from the Victorian Medical Women’s Society who graduated from 1930-1970.
Happy Healthy Women, Not Just Survivors
A joint advocacy initiative between the Australian Women’s Coalition (AWC), the Australian Federation of Medical Women (AFMW) and VMWS, this past project addresses how to safely and effectively meet the needs of sexual violence survivors over a lifetime.
