Our 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 participants had a wonderful visit to the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, where they explored and learned about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, culture and stories.

It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to experience the artwork, learn something new. Our participants were excited, engaged and enjoyed the experience!

We want to hear about your experience of women’s health care in the ACT, and what you believe best-practice women's health care should look like. We will use this information to inform our submission to the Australian Parliament's Select Committee on Women's Health.

We welcome responses from anyone with lived experience of these health services, including transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender-diverse people. The survey is confidential and we are interested in both positive and negative experiences.
