In 2023 Women's Health Victoria, in partnership with The University of Melbourne, launched In My Prime (inmyprime.org.au), an online health and wellbeing resource that provides evidence-based, relevant health information for and positive portrayals of *women over 50.
Six months on, an expert panel discusses the importance of diversity and inclusion when developing resources for this cohort, sharing their professional and lived experiences, and drawing on insights and learnings from the In My Prime project.
* When we use the word women, we are including cisgender and transgender women, and gender diverse people.
