HOW WE WORK AND OUR STRATEGIC<br />

DIRECTION<br />

Strategic direction<br />

<strong>WHISE</strong> has three key documents (see Fig 2) that provide the foundations for<br />

its work and drive its strategic direction.<br />

The <strong>WHISE</strong> Strategic Plan 2015-<strong>2018</strong> provides the platform for the organisation’s<br />

work. It empowers the delivery of <strong>WHISE</strong>’s Integrated Health Promotion<br />

Plan (IHP), which was released in early <strong>2018</strong>. The annual Business Plan<br />

outlines how resources will be used on an annual basis to deliver outcomes<br />

defined by the Strategic Plan and IHP.<br />

strategic plan<br />

The Strategic Plan is the backbone of the organisation. It underpins governance<br />

and operations, and ensures that the chosen priorities are sustainable<br />

and needs based.<br />

Approved by the Board of <strong>WHISE</strong> in 2014, the Strategic Plan states the organisation’s<br />

vision (which was first established in 1992) and establishes the<br />

way that this vision will be realised around three strategic goals.<br />

vision<br />

To improve the health and wellbeing of women in the Southern Metropolitan<br />

Region within a Social Model of Health and a feminist perspective.
