In May 2022, the Victorian Government announced additional funding for the Victorian Women’s Health Program, totaling $19.4 million for the 2022–2024 period. Small change, big impact: Two years on explores the collective impact and achievements of the Victorian women’s health sector across this two-year period and the sector’s contribution towards a fairer, safer and healthier Victoria for all Victorians.

The report builds on a landmark evaluation undertaken in 2023 exploring the sector’s impact and economic contribution over time towards advancing Victorian women’s health and equality: Small change, big impact: Women’s Health Services Network collective impact report 2022–2023 and Return on equity: Health and economic dividends from investing in Women’s Health Services.

The report includes case studies, impact statements and other qualitative data to assess our collective impact across our five intersecting priority health areas:

• Gender equality,

• Gendered violence prevention,

• Sexual and reproductive health,

• Mental health and wellbeing,

• Women in a changing society.
