The Women's Health Collective was established in 1987 as a safe space for women to come to for advocacy and advice, now in 2023 we're still here empowering women in their health, fertility and wellbeing
Woohoo! We're still around Whānau- still doing the mahi and working hard to empower women/ wāhine and their whānau to manage their health.
Awesome :)
We have remained open our usual hours as an essential service during the Covid-19 Pandemic rāhui/shut down with limited distance services including prebagged pregnancy tests and condoms available at our door (supervised), information provision as usual and distance counselling with our visiting counsellor by phone (Zoom option). We can also bag menstrual care supplies as needed including menstrual cups donated by the Wā Collective and MyCup for those on low incomes.
It is with a huge amount of sadness we learned that our contract for our main source of funding by our local DHB will be terminated from July 2019. This news came as a huge shock to us and to the women we provides services to for over 30 years. We provide a service that is safe, confidential and accessible for all women.
We want to ensure our centre remains open and accessible to women.
