Leichhardt Women’s Community Health Centre is a multidisciplinary health centre with over 20 staff speaking several community languages, who provide health care, support and education across the inner city, inner west and southwest suburbs of Sydney. We emphasise preventative health and empower women to participate in their own informed health care and related life decisions. Services comprise mixed billing medical clinics with highly skilled and experienced general practitioners specialising in women’s health, women’s health nurse clinics, acupuncture and naturopathy clinics, generalist and drug & alcohol counselling, on-site and outreach health education programs, dance movement therapy groups and, community support and health education programs specific for Vietnamese women.

 

Our specialised state-wide service called Women Partners of Men who have Sex with Men offers counselling and group support for women whose male partners are same sex attracted. This service also provides capacity building and training for other health professionals and is funded by Population Health, SLHD.

 

LWCHC specifically focuses on NSW Health Women’s Health Indicators (2019). This critical framework places women at the centre of decision making for their own health. While the framework is for all women, priority groups including Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Communities and First Nations Women are identified to improve health outcomes and social impact by guiding targeted service delivery and increased performance measurements.

 

LWCHC promotes collaboration with government, non-government and business, health, welfare, education, and housing sectors to assist women to thrive and have meaningful fulfilling lives.
