How We Curate Content at when.org.au

Navigating the complexities of women’s health requires not just expertise, but also a fearless commitment to confronting under-discussed issues. Our comprehensive process for content development on www.when.org.au addresses this imperative head-on.

Relevancy: Tuned into Your Life Stages and Concerns

Life-Spectrum Coverage: Whether you’re navigating adolescence or the challenges of later life, our content is there for you, addressing issues that many shy away from.
Pulse on National Priorities: We’re attuned to Australia’s healthcare landscape, which guides our contributions to vital national conversations.
Community Collaboration: This isn’t a one-way street. We invite dialogue and co-design, ensuring that our solutions are crafted with your input.
Evidence-Based Insight: Our foundation is science. No fads, no hype—just proven, actionable guidance.
Adaptive Intelligence: We monitor our platform’s metrics to better understand your needs, thus refining our offerings continually.

Development: A Multi-Dimensional Approach

Expert Council: Collaboration isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s embedded in how we operate. We consult academics, medical professionals, and you—the consumers—to enrich our perspectives.
Learning Adaptability: We’re conscious of different learning styles, crafting our content in written, visual, and auditory formats to maximize accessibility.
Health Literacy for All: We take complex medical parlance and translate it into actionable insights, irrespective of your prior knowledge.
Inclusivity in Focus: From medical professionals to the general public, our content caters to a diverse community with equally diverse needs.

Validation: Clinical Governance as Our Gatekeeper

Our Clinical Governance Committee is a multi-disciplinary body of health professionals and LGBTQIA+ experts. They ensure that our content is evidence-based, current, and safe, enabling us to tackle issues others might avoid for fear of controversy.

Review: Iteration and Improvement

We’re never static. Internal and external experts frequently review our content to ensure alignment with the latest scientific advancements. Your feedback is also a critical component of this process.

Transparency and Accountability: Non-Negotiables

Our Clinical Governance Committee is your assurance of our accountability. Their diverse expertise reinforces our commitment to a groundbreaking, yet evidence-based approach to women’s healthcare.

Our DNA

WHEN is a women’s health organisation working to educate all women across Australia to give them the power to make decisions to live and age well through exercise and movement.

Education
We use current research as a basis for our education and engage experts from the fields of health and exercise to support our work. We provide specific exercise and educational workshops for women during pregnancy and the postnatal period establishing the importance of pelvic floor education. Workshops are currently based in Hobart; however, our dedicated instructors travel around Australia helping women get access to this vital information.
Network
Our team has an extensive medical experience and qualifications including backgrounds in nursing, continence education, clinical psychology and general practice. We also have qualifications including personal training and clinical Pilates instruction.
