The Australian Women's Health Network (AWHN) is a community based, non-profit, consultative organisation that provides a national voice on women's health issues. AWHN was established in 1986 and operates as a women's health advocacy, information and lobbying organisation, working with Government policy makers and other agencies to improve the health and well-being of Australian women.

AWHN has affiliated Networks in all States and Territories of Australia. The State and Territory Women's Health Networks are the member organisations of AWHN. Both the State/Territory groups and the umbrella national organisation represent a wide cross section of women, and organisations representing specific groups of women. As health is interpreted in a broad social context, women from a range of interest groups take up AWHN membership. The organisation cuts across political, economic, social and ethnic barriers. Women's Health Networks frequently consult with other organisations representing women and work together to address major issues facing women.
