Positive Women Victoria provides peer support, information and advocacy for women in Victoria living with HIV. We believe women, femmes, cis women, and trans women have the right to achieve their goals and live vibrant and happy lives.

Vision and mission

Positive Women Victoria's vision is that all women and girls living with HIV in Australia are free from stigma and supported in their unique journey.

Positive Women Victoria's mission is to support, represent and promote effective change for women and girls living with HIV to enable their needs to be met.

How Positive Women Victoria can help

Positive Women Victoria believes every woman has the right to live a vibrant and fulfilling life. Through peer support, advocacy and health promotion, we empower women living with HIV to achieve their social, emotional and practical goals.
