Rural Women's Support hub is part of the Family Counselling Support Network company
which offers Australians health and wellness support no matter who, where and why.
We know that accessing the support services you need can be bloody tough and frustrating. We recognise the barriers and unique challenges of providing women's health care in rural, regional and remote Australia and the importance of trying to ensure consistent and timely access to equitable, quality services where possible.
Rather than spending countless hours trying to search on-line to find the services if and where they are available, Rural Women's Support Hub is dedicated to help connect rural women in particular, to key services and products that will at least help them source help they need, as close in location, or on line as possible.
