The Sisterhood Foundation’s purpose is to hear, acknowledge and address the unique health issues impacting Australian women and girls.

Its mission is to build capability in frontline charities and deliver programs that create positive health outcomes in the lives of women and girls. The Foundation is the official charity for all Wesfarmers Health businesses from 2025.

Sisterhood Foundation and Sisterworks

In 2023, the Sisterhood Foundation began a partnership with Sisterworks to help stimulate financial health and wellbeing for migrant, refugee and asylum seeker women in Victoria.

Fuding from the Foundation has enabled SisterWorks to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database, allowing them to optimise social enterprise operations and enhance donor management.
