About us
The Monash Women’s Health Alliance (MWHA
)
When women’s health is prioritised, outcomes improve not just for women, but for the families and communities they support. But too often traditional clinical care models, research methods, economic modelling, clinical guidelines and trials do not address women’s unique needs.
Monash clinicians, academics and researchers lead hundreds of programs across 10 faculties and five hospital networks directly supporting women’s health and wellbeing.
Monash Women’s Health Alliance (MWHA) is focused on coalescing all of these programs and relationships. The alliance is the central ‘front door’ into the Monash network for women’s health issues and solutions.
To focus our collective effort we have identified 10 key priority areas that impact on women's health and wellbeing.
Benefits of the alliance
The MWHA alliance can:
- Provide a real world view of what is happening in the women’s health sector.
- Assemble teams to generate compelling proposals to solve pressing issues impacting access to preventive measures, care and education for women, girls and gender diverse people.
- Build modules that can be integrated into education programs; from short courses to undergraduate programs to enhance understanding of women's health factors.
- Connect Monash University experts into business and government providing expertise across the women's health lifespan.
Via the MWHA we bring experts from a range of disciplines together to share research, ideas and build solutions.
What makes MWHA unique
Monash University’s breadth of clinical care, research and education across women's health lifespan – from preconception to palliative care – is unique.
The scale of the Monash Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences – 1700+ academic staff, 2900 Honorary Academics, 110+ courses, 18,000 undergraduate and post graduate students, 700 HDR students across four sub Faculties, international campuses, hospital alliances and partnerships and the multidisciplinary approach of the faculty gives us a powerful opportunity.
Ensuring that every woman has access to the latest evidence based information and care to live their best life
Playing a leadership role and central point for collaboration, Monash University works with alliance partners, external stakeholders and network members providing a front door to Government, collaborators and the community seeking access to internationally recognised expertise and a centre for solutions. The MWHA brings together a statewide network collaborating with national and global networks and connecting with the community.
