We strive towards an ambitious vision for change where women are healthy, safe 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.
