Positive Women Victoria on the move!
 

Positive Women Victoria is thrilled to announce it will soon be relocating to the Queen Victoria Women's Centre (QVWC) in Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Positive Women Victoria actively supports half of all women currently living with HIV in Victoria and our reach is constantly increasing. Moving to the QWVC will allow us to better meet the future needs of our members and our needs as a growing organisation.

 

Like Positive Women Victoria, the QVWC has a long history in supporting women’s health and wellbeing. “We are all very excited about the move” Chair Bev Greet commented “The Queen Victoria Women’s Centre is committed to providing a safe space for women to make informed choices, reach their full potential and be inspired for the future. This is very much the goal of Positive Women Victoria too”. 

 

CEO Kerrilie Rice added “We will be housed within a women focused space and have access to many other services for women. The Queen Victoria Women’s Centre is very accessible for many more of our members. The space allows for the organisation to grow while providing a safe space with an improved setup for the support of our members and health promotion activities” she said. 

 

“We will continue to work in partnership with HIV sector and mainstream services and organisations to strengthen the positive voice, whilst connecting to new women-only services that will assist women living with HIV into the future.

 

To allow for the move, the Positive Women Victoria office will close at 5pm on Tuesday 27th July and reopen at 9am on Monday 2nd August. From that date we can be contacted at:

We thank you for your ongoing support of Positive Women Victoria and look forward to welcoming you in our new space.
