Lived and Living Experience Advisory Group
Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West is starting its first Lived and Living Experience Advisory Group.
Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West is forming its first Lived and Living Experience Advisory Group, and expressions of interest are now open. We’re inviting women and gender diverse people from across the Barwon South West region to help shape our work on women’s health, wellbeing and prevention. No prior experience with advisory groups is needed — just your own life experiences and a willingness to contribute.
This is a unique opportunity to build confidence, leadership skills and connect with others who share a passion for creating positive change in our community. By joining, your voice will have a real influence on the programs and resources that matter most to women and gender diverse people across the Barwon South West region. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, abilities and life experiences.
For more details, please see our ‘Lived and Living Experience Advisory Group’ flyer using the button below, or complete the form on this page to lodge your interest as a member of the advisory group.
Voices into Action
Our Commitment to Community,
Culture and Change.
Women’s Health and Wellbeing Barwon South West (WHWBSW) stands on the unceded lands of the Gunditjmara, Eastern Marr and Wadawurrung peoples. We are a regional health promotion organisation driven by the belief that listening to women—especially those whose voices are often unheard—is essential to achieving equity, safety, and wellness for all. Our work is rooted in feminist values, community participation, and respect for the wisdom of First Nations women, whose stories and resilience guide our advocacy and action.
Through projects like the Aboriginal Women’s Voices initiative and our Women’s Voices Community Engagement Framework, we centre lived experience as a foundation for systemic change. We engage with local women across age, background and circumstance to amplify their experiences, from navigating the impact of COVID-19 to shaping policy responses. Whether through yarning circles, art workshops or regional surveys, every voice matters—and we are committed to transforming these voices into policy, programs, and practices that drive lasting change.
