“Women go through so many stages and changes in life that can significantly impact their wellbeing and physical health – it can sometimes feel isolating and difficult to navigate the health system in a regional setting to find the help and resources you needso we wanted to host a fun event that would bring everyone together to laugh, cry, celebrate or commiserate what it means to be a women,” says SWH’s Manager Camperdown and Lismore Community Health, Lauren Patterson.
The event will feature a facilitated panel session followed by a Q&A with a light supper and an opportunity to catch up with old friends and new over a few drinks and a chat.
“Hopefully attendees can get together and share their experiences and learn from the collective wisdom in the room,” says Patterson, “we just want people to have fun and to know that whatever they are going through they are most likely not alone”.
Dr Heidi Cutting and Dr Kate Stotskaia are both teachers at Deakin University’s Clinical School with a passion in women’s health and operate as local GP’s. Tracey Kruger is a local photographer, author and cancer survivor living on a farm at Croxton East.

“The panel of presenters bring a wide variety of experience and expertise and are informed about the latest women’s health issues and research. They are dynamic, rural women themselves, two of whom are also farmers, they have a lot of relevant life experience to share with our community,” says Patterson.
