Partner Spotlight

Our partnership with - Women's Health in the North began as tailored training that evolved into an ongoing partnership, including participation in Communities of Practice and collaboration on sexual and reproductive health initiatives.

This work resulted in measurable organisational change, embedding disability inclusion within WHIN’s systems, processes and ways of working.

Partner Spotlight

Working with Women's Health Grampians (WHG), we supported them to move from external promotion of equality to internal accountability and systems change.

This work resulted in significant organisational change, embedding disability inclusion across WHG’s policies, systems and workforce practices.
