Overview

The Aboriginal healthy women's project provided women's-only exercise classes at various venues around Perth, Western Australia. These low cost classes were run in a private, safe, and supportive environment. Project staff were available to provide talks and activities for community groups and to host specific events.

Women's Health and Family Services had a sliding scale of charges for their activity events, ranging from a gold coin donation to corporate rates depending on ability to pay.

Activities included (but were not limited to):

• healthy eating talks
• walking groups
• She moves classes
• National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) netball
• general exercise events
• Come and try days.
