Our Aim

Is enhancing the health and well being of Women in the Hedland area.

Our objectives are to provide a women’s health service, based on a social model of health that is non-judgmental, non-discriminatory, accessible and affordable to women, in particular by;

• providing social welfare by assisting in the relief of poverty, distress, sickness, suffering, destitution, misfortune, disability, or helplessness – especially relating to the health and welfare of women and their families;

• providing a coordinated range of community services of a benevolent nature to women and their families;

• assisting in the development of community services and programs for the community;

• fostering a spirit of neighbourly co-operation, community spirit and well being, participation and support within the community;

• Advocate for the health needs of women in the region;

• Ensure the effective and ongoing operation of Centre business as a non-profit organisation.

The Hedland Well Women’s Centre provides a wholly free service based on a social model of health and is a non profit organisation.

The Centre receives core funding from the State Government Health Department. A 3 year partnership grant through the BHP Billiton Pilbara Health Partnership also plays a vital role in the Centre’s provision of services.

Many of the Centre’s activities are held in partnership with other local health and counselling service providers.

Dedicated staff are supported by a volunteer Board of Management made up of 12 local women.
