Women's Health Week 2026 in Australia: 7 to 11 September 2026
This September, communities across Australia came together for a series of Heart Foundation Walking events as part of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week.
Reflecting this year’s theme, ‘Do it anyway’, the events encouraged women to make time for their health and wellbeing, even when life feels busy.
Walkers stepped away from their daily routines to enjoy a gentle walk, connect with others and learn more about women's heart health, including some of the lesser-known risk factors and warning signs women face.
The events aimed to highlight the importance of prioritising both physical and mental wellbeing through simple, achievable actions like regular walking and having a Heart Health Check.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, along with our local partners and volunteers who helped bring these events to life.
Together, we're helping more women take positive steps towards better health, wellbeing and social connection, one walk at a time.
