Women’s Health in the South East (WHISE) opened in September 1992 in Frankston as a central point in the region and became incorporated in November 1992. The establishment of the Service was due to the hard work, energy and commitment of SWHAG members. Finally, the dreams and goals of so many committed women came to fruition.

In November 2007, the organisation relocated to new premises at Dandenong, close to all the facilities and services that our clients are likely to use. Our client groups have changed clearly with our move – we are seeing many more women from different cultural backgrounds, and we are linking in with a number of community groups that assist women and their families to settle better into Australia.
