This report demonstrates that through its gender-specialised response, and unique configuration and delivery of services, the Women’s Health Sector represents a foundation for the development of urgently needed services to address one of the nation’s most pressing social failures: the routine threat to the health and safety of Australia’s women and girls.

This report documents the finding of a mapping study to establish a comprehensive understanding of the services provided by Women’s Health Centres in NSW and their alignment with state and local priorities. The NSW Ministry of Health commissioned Urbis to undertake the study.
