Reports
The Women’s Annual Report 2019 is a report of our operations, and key financial and service performance for the 2018-2019 financial year.
The Women’s Quality Account 2019 highlights the performance, actions and achievements of the Women’s against quality indicators and standards that all public health services across Victoria must report on.

The 2019 Research Report highlights some of our many achievements in research in 2019, 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.

The Women's Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan is underpinned by our genuine commitment to promote reconciliation by building relationships, respect and trust between the Women's and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women, their families, our staff and communities.
