Women in Public Health (WPH) is a network of women from across Australia working to advance gender equity in public health leadership.
WPH advances gender equity by:
- highlighting inequities – highlighting the inequities that exist in leadership in public health and the value of diverse women’s voices in advancing health
- elevating voices – elevating the voices of women in public policy discussions, in the media, in government processes and in other public forums
- connecting women – connecting women working to advance public health across research, policy, healthcare and service settings and beyond the health sector.
AHPA supports gender equity in leadership and the purpose of the Women in Public Health network, and AHPA President Gemma Crawford is a proud co-founder.
