About Women's Mental Health Australia

Women’s Mental Health Australia (WMHA) is the nation’s leading organisation dedicated to improving mental health outcomes for women across the lifespan. We exist to champion a world where gender is recognised as a key factor in mental health; where every woman, at every stage of life, is seen, heard and supported. Our mission is to address the often overlooked mental health challenges uniquely experienced by women and girls. From menstruation to menopause, motherhood to caregiving, and everything in between, we advocate for gender-informed research, policy and mental health care that recognises how biology, life stages and social experiences shape mental health outcomes. We do this year-round through: • Gender-specific research that addresses gender gaps in evidence for mental health conditions • Advocacy initiatives to influence national mental health agendas, policy and reform • Educational mental health programs and resources that support women and the professionals who care for them • Awareness and collaboration with government, industry and community to drive meaningful, lasting change Since 2010, our work has been powered by the success of the Liptember campaign – our flagship lipstick-wearing fundraiser held every September. What began as a conversation-starter has grown into a national movement, raising millions for women’s mental health initiatives and bringing greater awareness to the role gender plays in mental wellbeing and reducing stigma around help-seeking. Formerly known as the Liptember Foundation, we evolved into Women’s Mental Health Australia (WMHA) in 2025 to better reflect our mission with clarity.
