Women are eligible for different health checks and immunisations at different ages. The ALSWH report Use of prevention and screening services by women: Findings from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health provides more information about programs and guidelines relevant to Australian women. The report takes a health equity lens breaking data on each topic down by:

• area of residence
• level of education (often an indicator of socio-economic status)
• language spoken at home (which may affect access to services for women with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds), and
• women’s ability to manage on their available income.
