The 2020 Research Report highlights some of our many achievements in research in 2020, showcasing how our research findings are translated from the ‘bench to the bedside’, becoming everyday practice, not only at the Women’s, but in hospitals all around the world.

The Women's Prevention of Violence Against Women Strategy provides a framework to unite the Women’s existing activities and guide our future work on the prevention of violence against women. Our objective to be the leading hospital in the prevention of, and response to, violence as a women’s health issue will be achieved through actions that build our capacity and capability to identify and respond to violence against women.
Submission to the Royal Commission into Family Violence
As a statewide leader in addressing family violence as a health issue, the Women’s made a submission and recommendations to the Royal Commission into Family Violence in May 2015. The Women’s acknowledges that hospitals have a unique role in identifying women and children at risk and linking them with support.
