About Us

Leichhardt Women's Community Health Centre (LWCHC) is an accredited service operated by women for women. Its gender and trauma-informed primary health care model provides wrap-around health services, support and education to marginalised and financially disadvantaged women inclusive of those experiencing both transgenerational trauma and systemic racism (both First Nations and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse women). All cis and trans women are welcome.

The centre is funded by Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) and is a registered Public Benevolent Institution Charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and has been endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) since 2001.
