Wear it purple day is held on the last Friday in August every year

International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) – held on 31 August every year – is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, remember without stigma those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind.

Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week is Australia’s largest event dedicated to the health and wellbeing of all women, girls and gender-diverse people. Our next Women’s Health Week is 1 to 5 September 2025.
