Free events for Women’s Health Week

Women, girls and gender-diverse people will have the opportunity to attend two events in Bannockburn as part of Women’s Health Week 2025.

Golden Plains Shire Council will host the free events in the first week of September to celebrate the national initiative.

The shire invited all community members to attend Pain to Power, featuring speakers from Women’s Health Grampians, Golden Plains Medical Centre and Golden Plains Shire, which runs from 10am to noon on September 4 at the Golden Plains Civic Centre.

Women and girls aged five and over can also attend the Be Kind to Your Mind art workshop, which focuses on creativity and connection, at 4pm on Friday, September 5 at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre.

Golden Plains mayor Cr Owen Sharkey encouraged women, girls and gender-diverse people to attend the events.

“This years’ theme for Women’s Health Week is ‘say yes to you’ and Council is proud to host these events which focus on a different health topic to help women prioritise their own health and wellbeing,” Cr Sharkey said.

“These events are all about saying yes to you and putting your health first. Bring your mum, daughter, sister, neighbour, best friend, grandmother, or any special women in your life.”
