We are delighted to have the support of our two wonderful ambassadors, Shelley Ware and Tina McCarthy, to help us spread our messages and promote good health to all women and girls in Australia.
Ambassadors
Meet our Women's Health Week ambassadors!
Shelley Ware
As a teacher and proud Yankunytjatjara and Wirangu woman, Shelley knows the powerful role that education can play in maintaining good health and preventing future health problems. She is a member of the ABC’s AFL/AFLW podcast ‘The Outer Sanctum’ and host of ‘Colour of Your Jumper’ on AFL.com, and one of the most respected and recognised female presenters of AFL and AFLW in the country.
Shelley also lends her support to several indigenous organisations such as My Australian Dream campaign, Indigenous Literacy Foundation and Sports Ready Indigenous Cadetship.
Tina McCarthy
As the founder of ‘Wheel Women’, Tina is always happy to get on her bike for Women’s Health Week. A strong believer in the physical and mental health benefits of cycling, she has made it her life’s work to get as many women as possible riding bikes.
Wheel Women has won multiple awards for its work in making cycling more easily accessible for women. We love that Tina offers a supportive, social and fun environment for women of all ages and skill levels to not only learn how to ride, but to use cycling as a way to improve their health and wellbeing.
Tina is also an ambassador for VicHealth’s ‘This Girl Can’ campaign.
