The Survey of Women’s Health in the ACT is the major way we learn about the health needs and experiences of women and femme-identifying people in the ACT.

Now in its second iteration, we ran the survey again between December 2024 and March 2025, collecting 1,318 responses on topics including:

• access to health services
• experiences of healthcare
• mental health
• violence and safety
• sexual and reproductive health
• pregnancy and birth

Analysis so far shows that our second survey is more representative of the ACT population than our first, with a larger proportion of responses coming from young women, women over 65, and women from migrant and refugee backgrounds – groups that were underrepresented in the first wave of the survey.

We plan to release our report on the survey in September this year. You can read the first survey report (2023) here.
