The Women's Health Centre, Brisbane, ran for approximately four years in Highgate Hill, Brisbane, in the early 1990s, in service of women who wanted to be treated by other women for health matters. During this time they received funding for the Women's Health Development Programme from the Commonwealth Department of Community Services and Health. They wished to make information known to women about many aspects of their own health and treatment options, monitor the development of policies and programmes affecting the health of women, and provide a place where women could be treated by health professionals of their own gender. They closed in 1994, due to lack of funding.
