6 - 10 September 2021
Jean Hailes’ Women’s Health Week is the biggest week in Australia dedicated to good health and wellbeing for women and girls.
Here at Broad Radio, we think women’s health is incredibly important, often under-reported and we know our listeners want to learn more about their bodies, their health and how it changes as they age.
That’s why Broad Radio has teamed up with Jean Hailes for Women’s Health Week to deliver five exclusive pop-up radio shows, each focusing on a critical area of women’s health.
Read on to find out what we’re doing to bring these discussions and expert knowledge to our listeners.
Ask a question
During our Women’s Health Week pop-up shows we will be asking listener questions. Got a question on exercise, periods, sex, mental health or sleep? Fill out the form and we’ll ask our Jean Hailes experts on the show!
Pop-up shows
During Women’s Health Week, every day we live broadcasted a one-hour pop-up show at 1pm AEST.
Each show featured experts and resources from the incredible team at Jean Hailes. And each show streamed live to our YouTube, Facebook and Twitch channels. In addition, we’ve released each show as a podcast. So you can tune in live, or watch or listen on your own time.
