SUMMARY:Bridging the Gender Pain Gap: From Understanding to Action | WHISE
DESCRIPTION:Women’s pain is too often dismissed\, minimised or left undiagnosed. That pattern is not inevitable. It is produced by how systems of care are designed\, funded and connected\, which means organisations in our region can change it. \nIn August 2026\, more than 70 practitioners from health\, community\, social services\, family violence and multicultural sectors came together for the first Bridging the Gender Pain Gap workshop\, hosted by Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE). Guided by women with lived experience and the Victorian Government’s Bridging the Gender Pain Gap report\, participants mapped where systems are falling short and what could change. They also asked for a next step: a chance to move from shared understanding to shared action. \nThis workshop is that next step. \nOver two hours online\, you will work in a small\, facilitated breakout room on one of nine priority themes identified in Workshop 1. Together\, your room will shape one clear\, realistic action that organisations in the region can start within the next three months\, using resources they already have\, led by a named person from a partner organisation. \nIdeas that need new funding\, policy change or a longer timeframe will not be lost. They will feed a shared regional advocacy agenda and the work of a possible regional Community of Practice on women’s pain. \nYou do not need to have attended Workshop One. The session opens with a short synthesis of what we heard\, so everyone starts from the same place. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Embedding Lived Experience Forum | WHISE
DESCRIPTION:Join Promoting Respect and Equity Together (PRET) Partnership leaders and practitioners on Thursday 19 November 2026 for a half-day forum exploring how we can strengthen and sustain lived experience leadership in the primary prevention of gender-based violence. \nOver the past year\, the PRET Lived Experience Community of Practice has generated valuable insights into what it takes to genuinely centre lived experience in prevention work. This forum will bring those learnings to the forefront through a lived experience panel\, discussion of the PRET Lived Experience Framework\, and participant-led conversations focused on organisational readiness\, capability and collective action. \nParticipants will hear directly from Community of Practice members about barriers and enablers\, explore practical approaches to embedding lived experience\, and contribute to shaping the next phase of this work across the Partnership. \nRegister here
