In this episode of Usap Tayo, we discussed the invisible mental load and unpaid care labor carried by women in Australia during Women’s Health Week.
Key Points
- Australia's Women's Health Week, run by Jean Hailes, takes place from September 7 to 11, 2026, featuring mental wellbeing and social connection as key daily themes.
- This year’s theme, ‘Do it anyway’, is about taking small steps for your health on your terms, rather than pushing through pain or pressure.
- Recent data shows Australian women continue to perform significantly more unpaid labor and organizational household tasks than men.
