Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West is an independent, not-for-profit, intersectional feminist organisation committed to gender equality and great practice health promotion. In short, we endeavour to improve women’s lives.

We strive towards an ambitious vision for change where women are healthy, secure and equal. Our health promotion work is built on a foundation of evidence and a commitment to excellence, and we lead change by shifting public discussion, translating evidence into action and pushing for policy changes in businesses, organisations, and all levels of government. We engage in courageous conversations, knowing that we may face resistance as we strive to make change for women.

The Health Promotion Officer is responsible for contributing to improved health, safety and wellbeing outcomes for women and gender diverse people in the Barwon South West Region. The Health Promotion Officer is versatile and delivers to a work plan that spans the organisational priorities.

Using a gendered, intersectional and capacity building approach, the role involves the development, delivery and evaluation of effective and integrated health promotion programs and strategies.

An understanding of women and gender diverse people’s health and wellbeing needs and the structural factors that cause and maintain health inequities are vital in this role.

Reporting to the Health Promotion Team Leader, the Health Promotion Officer will provide quality, contemporary expertise in translating, implementing and evaluating research, policy and initiatives that progress population improvements in women’s health.





We are seeking values aligned women and gender diverse people who are highly committed to the vision and priorities of our organisation.
