To celebrate Women’s Health Week, we’re inviting women across Boroondara to join us at free events that inspire healthy habits for both body and mind.
Women’s Health Week, 2 to 6 September, is a nationwide campaign led by Jean Hailes. It is Australia’s largest event dedicated to the health and wellbeing of all women, girls and gender-diverse people.
