The proposed closure of Vichealth will be a profound step backwards for public health in Victoria. Think again. croakey.org/nicola-roxon-c…

6) Breast cancer is a numbers game. There is now exceptionally good evidence to guide patients on what therapies they should have based on their individual risk profile. One supermodel beating the odds should guide no one in their choices.

@MichaelJLiv Congratulations Michael! Amazing

I need absolutely everybody to know that I ran a sub 3:30 marathon my first time out

Respondents highlighted the need for @WPHau to increase women’s participation in decision making about issues that affect them, emphasising the importance of women’s perspectives for removing sexism in healthcare, research and policy, and improving women’s health and equity.

Respondents were excited by the opportunity the @WPHau network will provide for women to connect. “Community is important. I think a lot of people are seeking spaces where they can share ideas, be celebrated, and learn.”

Nicole is talking about how women have been told to toe the line historically, to behave in a certain way to acheive success - and how this is a system that enables power imbalances.

“You can't be what you can't see. I think it's a really fabulous opportunity to collaborate, network, and learn from other women working in this space.”

Finishing up, Nicole says we are better together and by using the @WPHau community we can challenge the systems that create barriers for women in public health. “Our voices will not be minimised.”

From the good folks @theMJA! “Women have been shown generally to display transformational democratic leadership, being team‐focused, motivating and empowering, with benefits of leadership diversity well demonstrated.” mja.com.au/journal/2024/2…

A new @AlcoholChangeAU survey shows too many Australians are in the dark about the link between alcohol & cancer. Governments must take action to combat harm from alcohol, including implementing health warning labels on alcohol products. Media release: alcoholchangeaus.org.au

If sporting codes are serious about reducing violence against women, they won't just undertake "education" programs and bow their heads for a minute. They would break their lucrative sponsorship and advertising relationships with the alcohol industry.

We want to continue to celebrate the incredible founding members of @WPHau ! Today, we introduce more trailblazing women driving positive change across public health domains like health equity, child health, addiction treatment, harm reduction, and more. #WomenInPublicHealth

Today, we celebrate the incredible women driving change in public health across Australia. Their leadership and advocacy are vital forces shaping healthier communities. Let's meet some of the founding members of @WPHau and share their work!

Sensing a theme? What are your thoughts and experiences on gender equity in public health leadership? How can we better support women in public health? #GenderEquity #PublicHealthLeadership

Nicole Hewlett, a proud Palawa woman, amplifies First Nations voices through her work on community-led programs reducing alcohol harms. By uplifting Indigenous perspectives, Nicole is paving the way for inclusive and effective public health solutions. croakey.org/this-book-prov…

The aggressive marketing of unhealthy foods is a major issue, and @alikjones is taking it head-on. Her advocacy for stronger regulations shields children from manipulative junk food advertising that endangers their health and aims to keep the food industry honest.
