** Vision, Mission and Values **
The Women's Centre for Health Matters Inc. (WCHM) is a community-based organisation which works in the ACT and surrounding region to improve women's health and wellbeing. WCHM believes that the environment and life circumstances which each woman experiences affects her health outcomes.
WCHM focuses on areas of possible disadvantage and uses research, community development and health promotion to

health and wellbeing; and

responsiveness to women's needs.

health”.
