Women's Health Northern Rivers

Women's Health Northern Rivers Our services recognise and challenge the effects of sex-role stereotyping and gender discrimination on women’s health and wellbeing.

We work to empower women to determine their individual health needs and to make and access evidence informed choices. WHNR offers drop in support, women’s health clinic, counselling and health and wellness activities in a safe, confidential space.

We are really happy to announce a new Shark Cage group in Mullumbimby starting in February 2026. This impactful and empowering 8 week group program is for women who have experienced domestic violence or sexual abuse. Our Lismore Shark Cage group for February 2026 is also taking bookings.

Using the Shark Cage® framework, you will learn about the impacts of trauma, creating and setting boundaries, develop assertiveness skills, and build your sense of empowerment.

This group aims to be a safe, inclusive space where you can strengthen your identity and reclaim your human rights.

Open to women of all abilities and diversity.

During the past financial year Women's Health Northern Rivers has continued to empower women and strengthen communities across the Northern Rivers. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve achieved from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025:

With government funding we were able to expand services, reduce wait times, and reach more women in need. Our team of counsellors, social workers, and nurse provided trauma-informed support for health and resilience. Women reported improved wellbeing, confidence, and connection because healing happens in safe, supportive spaces.

We’re breaking barriers to health access and creating pathways for women to thrive.

Follow us for updates on workshops, services, and ways you can support WHNR. Together, we’re building stronger, healthier communities.

Over the summer months we will be posting a short series on sexual choking.

The digital space is making it seem like everyone is doing it, and that this sexual activity is risk-free. This can lead to situations where people are choked without specifically agreeing to it (sexual violence) as well as serious health consequences for the person being choked. We want everyone to know that every time you choke someone, or let someone choke you, there is a risk of serious injury, brain injury and death.
