International Women’s Day (IWD) celebrates the social, cultural, economic and political achievements of women around the globe. This day focuses on unity, equality and advocacy.
International Women’s Day had its first official acknowledgment in 1911. Since 1977, the United Nations has made it a focus day for both women’s right and world peace.
This year, IWD’s campaign themed #BreakTheBias seeks to celebrate women’s achievement, raise awareness against bias and take action for equality. Be part of a movement. Together, we can create a world where difference is valued and celebrated, and enjoy a world that is diverse, equitable and inclusive.

Virtual Reality Therapy Available at Barwell
Struggling with stress and anxiety?
Let us help you build back your better mental health through a Virtual Reality Therapy Session with Psious. CHMC Barwell is currently one of the few medical centres in Sydney to leverage virtual reality to help patients better manage stress and anxiety.
Virtual reality in therapy is scientifically and medically validated. Over a decade of controlled studies have proved the effectiveness of virtual reality for the treatment of mental disorders, especially anxiety and specific phobias.
Everyone feels down, sad, frustrated, stressed or anxious at times, but it’s important to be able to recognise when a mood or behaviour is more than a temporary thing. Always remember, you are not alone. Our health care team are always ready to lend a helping hand.
Stay tuned for more information about our Virtual Reality Therapy session.

Would you like to be involved in a study aiming to help protect young children against food allergies? The OPTIMUM Study is investigating if giving a dose of ‘whole-cell’ whooping cough vaccine at 2 months of age, instead of the current ‘acellular’ vaccine, could be beneficial in training the immune system and preventing the development of food allergies and eczema.
