What does Women’s Health Tasmania do? 

There are lots of things Women's Health Tas does but here it is in a bit of list.

• Women’s Health Tasmania is a health promotion charity run by women for women. We have an inclusive definition of women.
• We have been around since 1988.
• A group of committed feminists lobbied the Tassie government for funds to start the organisation.
• We are located in North Hobart, but our focus is state-wide.
• We offer health promoting activities in Hobart and online (yoga, tai chi, walking group, meditation), run workshops and groups.
• We undertake research and advocacy work around the health needs of women in Tasmania.
• Manage Pregnancy Choices Tasmania website that gives women information about reproductive options.
• We manage the Women’s Health Fund to ensure financial barriers don’t stop women accessing abortion care and provide free non-directive pregnancy choices counselling. 
• We offer free short-term counselling on anything affecting women’s lives.
