Responding to Emerging Needs As the peak body for the 20 NGO Women’s Health Centres in NSW, Women’s Health NSW provides sector support, coordination and representation, via a single point of contact, to Government and stakeholders. Women’s Health NSW receives funding under the Women’s Health Program, with direct oversight from Ministry of Health, to achieve the following aims: • Support the development of policies and services that promote the health of all women in NSW including being proactive on priority issues relevant to women’s health; • Promote women’s access to appropriate and effective community-based health services; • Increase capacity in Women’s Health sector to respond effectively to women’s health and wellbeing; • Enhance the capacity of Women’s Health Centres in NSW to deliver good governance, data management, planning and reporting; and • Enhance Women’s Health NSW governance and performance to achieve its aims and objectives. Sustainable investment in Women’s Health NSW is reflected in Scenario 1 with a recalibration of costs to deliver currently contracted services and Scenario 2 reflecting the level of services and activities currently being delivered to meet the needs of the sector. Enhanced investment in the Women’s Health Program, envisaged in Scenario 3, would enable Women’s Health NSW to expand its support for the sector and address key emerging issues. In particular, Women’s Health NSW would seek to:

• Enhance existing IT, cyber security support and skill development for the sector;

• Engage a dedicated training and project management resource to support ongoing sector-wide capacity building, research, policy development, data management and outcomes reporting.
