This report lays bare the scale of Australia's housing crisis, and it also reveals that the crisis is impacting significantly on many women, with rising housing insecurity and homelessness forcing some women to delay or forgo health care, which of course worsens physical and mental health outcomes and deepens economic disadvantage. That is why I want to talk briefly today about an organisation that's doing something that our health system has struggled and will continue to struggle to do while underresourced in a cost-of-living crisis, and that is giving women the full picture of their own bodies. As a senator for Tasmania and a long-time supporter of women's health and women's rights, I'm proud that one of the country's most forward-thinking women's health organisations started in Hobart.

The Women's Health Education Network, known as WHEN, was founded by Peta Titter in 2017 and now works nationally. There are four things that make WHEN stand out. Firstly, WHEN's work is built on two things that rarely come together: clinical expertise and the lived experience of women. Every resource goes through clinical governance and is reviewed by health professionals, and women are involved in every project. Their Exercise & pregnancyguidelines, drawing on more than 100 references and 30 health professionals, is one of the first guidelines to put the woman on equal footing with the baby. The Miscarriage Project, built with more than 40 contributors, including women with lived experience, is the first resource of its kind to address how a woman's body recovers after pregnancy loss.

Secondly, WHEN looks at the whole woman across her whole life. Our health system treats women in episodes—pregnancy, menopause, ageing—with separate rooms and separate appointments. WHEN connects them, because what happens at one stage shapes the next. A birth injury can shape a woman's experience of menopause decades later. The right exercise through menopause protects her strength and independence into older age.

Thirdly, WHEN is willing to say the hard things. Its Over 65 Project, delivered by retired nurses, looks honestly at how older women are portrayed in the media and treated by the health system. Where women are overlooked or given information that falls short, WHEN says so and WHEN backs it with evidence.

Fourthly, WHEN is built on equity. Many women's health services in this country are excellent, yet are out of reach for women who can't afford them. WHEN's education is free to women, and it has achieved all of this with almost no funding. Its work is non-discriminatory. Every woman, whatever her income, postcode or background, is welcome.

WHEN's reach is growing. Its podcast, The Little Black Dress of Women's Health, has been recognised as one of Australia's top four women's health podcasts. Its Seven Deadly Sins series, created with a psychologist, brings physical and mental health together in a way women rarely hear. All of it is available by searching the Women's Health Education Network, or WHEN.

WHEN stands ready to work with governments, non-government organisations and communities across Australia. Women deserve to understand their bodies across their whole lives, not just in isolated moments. I commend Peta Titter and the WHEN team for making that possible, and I encourage colleagues to look up their work.

I also commend this report from my friend, my colleague and a champion of women's rights, Senator Barbara Pocock. This report does make the case that housing inequality rarely exists in isolation but is closely linked to broader societal inequalities, particularly in relation to health and gender.
