Advancing Women’s Health Equity: Women's Pain Inquiry + Estate Planning

Join us for an evening of learning and connection hosted for members and friends of Melbourne Women's Foundation giving circle. 

Agenda highlights:
- Tackling gender bias in healthcare
- Indigenous women's healthcare experiences
- New initiatives improving women’s health outcomes

This unique event features two segments:

1. Addressing Women’s Pain: A Critical Update
Learn about the outcomes of the Victorian Inquiry into Women’s Pain and the systemic barriers women face in accessing equitable healthcare.

For too long, women’s pain has been under-diagnosed and under-treated. This session sheds light on gender bias in healthcare, with alarming statistics from a survey of nurses and midwives revealing:
- 66% felt dismissed by health professionals
- 60% faced barriers to managing their pain

2. Estate Planning Insights
Presented by our sponsor, Hall and Wilcox - gain expert advice on securing your legacy and understanding the essentials of estate planning.
