About Us
The Logan Women’s Health and Wellbeing Centre provides a full range of health and wellbeing services for women. We empower women from all walks of life to make informed choices and to actively participate in their own health care within a safe women’s only space. We aim to provide a welcoming and supportive space that nurtures growth, blossoming and resilience.
Our Vision is optimal health for all women in Logan City and the surrounding areas.
Our Mission is to invest in the future of women’s health and wellbeing in Logan City and the surrounding areas by enhancing access to innovative and comprehensive women’s health services.
Our Values are based on feminist principles and the social model of health underpins our work. We recognise that women’s health needs are determined by the complex relationship between the physical, social, emotional and economic aspects of their lives. We encourage their voices, celebrate their strengths and advocate for their rights.
