The Australian Federation of Medical Women (AFMW) is a not for profit, politically neutral, non sectarian, non government organisation that seeks to improve the health of all Australians, especially the health of women and children.
AFMW is a member of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health, Australian Women’s Coalition, partners with Doctors for the Environment Australia and is affiliated with Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA), Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership (AWHL) and Climate and Health Alliance in Australia (CAHA).

We at AFMW are pleased to be part of the Women’s Climate & Gender Equality Hub which recently formed to collaborate and amplify the voices of Australian Women as we approach a Climate Change crisis.
As a member of the Climate and Health Alliance (CAHA), we are pleased to share our policy priorities for improved health outcomes ahead of COP31. We proudly stand behind the priorities of our Pacific neighbours, who are leaders on climate justice and health equity.
