SHELab is a new program taking interactive health promotion to women and girls living in regional, remote and very remote Australia. SHELab builds on the successful HealthLAB model and community networks to deliver a tailored program for women and girls that responds to local and changing health priorities for each community. 

Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care’s Improving Health Outcomes for Priority Populations of Women and Girls – Health Promotion Activities Grant Opportunity.

In addition to community visits, the team will support creation of tailored health resources with women and girls. 

The project will run August 2024 to June 2027.
