If you only have a few minutes, you can use our quick, templated submission form.
If you have more time and would like to write and submit your personal story, use our step-by-step guide to preparing a submission.
You can also find an online or in-person event where you can learn about the inquiry and get support with your submission.
If you’ve written your own personal story, you can simply email your submission to the Committee Secretariat womenshealth.sen@aph.gov.au but if you do this your submission will not be private, and it will be published on the internet.
If you would like your submission to be private and read by the committee, but not published on the internet, please create an account and upload your submission here.
