IN THE COMMUNITY

Women’s Health Loddon Mallee believes that everyone has a story to tell, and that these stories are important. Data is being collected all over the globe during the Covid-19 pandemic, and we want to ensure that the unique and diverse stories from the Loddon Mallee are captured. We would like to invite women, men, and gender diverse people across our region to share their experiences, feelings, observations, struggles and successes during the Covid-19 pandemic. We also want to ensure that the voices of young people are included in creating a snapshot of this time.

We are collecting this qualitative data through an online survey, which can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/r/RGTXX95. 

The information collected through this process will help to inform future practice and initiatives. The second aim of this project is to provide people with a safe space to share their thoughts. Due to this, there is the opportunity to participate without giving consent to WHLM to use or share the story, and to participate anonymously.  If consent is given to WHLM to use the story, all stories will first be de-identified. 

If you have any questions about this project, don’t hesitate to email me
