The Jean Hailes Foundation
The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women's Health provides a unique response to the needs of women through excellence in research, community and professional education and clinical care. We translate the latest research findings into practical health and lifestyle approaches for women and their health professionals.

Established in Victoria in 1992, we are now regarded throughout Australia as a leader in women's healthcare. Our primary focus is the health and wellbeing of the 5 million Australian women aged 35+ years who represent 25% of our population. We adopt a three-fold approach to health and wellbeing: the integration of education for the community and for health care professionals, with clinical practice and focused research.
