Women With Disabilities Australia (WWDA) is proud to announce the release of two new Easy Read fact sheets, developed in partnership with Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, and aimed at empowering women with disabilities to take charge of their health.
WWDA and Jean Hailes are committed to breaking down barriers to health information and ensuring that women with disabilities have the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their health.
When you go to the doctor
The first fact sheet, “When you go to the doctor,” provides practical tips and guidance on how to prepare for doctors appointments, communicate effectively with healthcare providers, and advocate for individual needs. It addresses common concerns and questions that women with disabilities may have about accessing healthcare services.
Your women’s health care team
The second fact sheet, “Your women’s health care team,” introduces the diverse range of health professionals who specialise in women’s health, including GPs, pelvic floor physiotherapists, gynaecologists, endocrinologists, dietitians, and psychologists. It explains the role of each professional and how they can contribute to overall wellbeing.
