Shoppers at Westfield Mt Gravatt will be able to access free health information and resources during Women’s Health Week (1–5 September), as the centre hosts a special information stall to encourage locals to put their wellbeing first.

The national campaign, run by not-for-profit organisation Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, is Australia’s largest event dedicated to women’s health. This year’s theme, “Say yes to you”, is about reminding women to prioritise their own health rather than putting it last.
Starting 1 September, Jean Hailes for Women’s Health will release a new tool designed to make it easier for women to keep track of their health checks. By completing a short questionnaire, women will receive a tailored list of recommended check-ups along with guidance on when they should be done.
Across Queensland, iconic landmarks such as Suncorp Stadium, Victoria Bridge and Reddacliff Place will also light up purple during the week to shine a spotlight on women’s health issues.
Jean Hailes CEO Dr Sarah White said the campaign encourages women to make time for their health, from booking check-ups to looking after their mental wellbeing.
The week will highlight topics such as heart health, chronic pain and mental wellbeing, with new expert-led resources released daily online. More than 2,200 community events are taking place nationwide to support the initiative.
