Women’s Health

Women’s Group

At Manngoor Dja, our Women’s Group is a safe and welcoming space for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to come together, have a yarn and connect with one another.

Our regular gatherings are all about supporting strong women, strong families and strong community. Each session can look a little different — from arts and crafts, cultural activities and creative workshops, to guest speakers sharing knowledge on topics like diabetes care, healthy eating and wellbeing. We also run activities that get us moving, such as walking groups, gentle exercise and other wellbeing sessions.

Women’s Group is guided by community. We value the voices of the women who attend and welcome ideas about what you’d like to see in future sessions.

Come along, build connections, learn something new and spend time in a supportive space with other women in community.

To stay up to date with upcoming sessions, activities and announcements, we encourage members to join our Women’s Group Facebook page.

Please note: Women’s Group is open to HAC card members. Support workers are welcome to attend when required.

If you have any questions please give us a call on 07 5346 9800.
