FOR Women’s Health Nurse Aimee Bice, healthcare is about more than appointments and check-ups; it’s about dignity, trust and ensuring no woman is left behind.
This International Women’s Day, the theme Balance the Scales reminds us that equality begins with access: access to safety, to support and to care. Every day, Aimee works to make that access a reality for women in the community.
A registered nurse specialising in sexual health and immunisation, Aimee is the wonderful nurse looking after the Women’s Health Clinic at Primary Care Connect (PCC).
Aimee has built her career around supporting women who are often overlooked by mainstream services. From her early work alongside First Nations women to her current role supporting refugee and asylum seekers, women experiencing homelessness, and those who have experienced trauma, she understands that healthcare is never one-size-fits-all.
“Healthcare is fundamentally human. When women feel safe, heard and respected, that’s when real care begins,” said Aimee.
Many of the women she meets are navigating language barriers, cultural differences, financial hardship or complex systems that were never designed with them in mind. Aimee’s role extends beyond clinical care — she is a listener, advocate and guide, helping women move through services with confidence and dignity.
Importantly, through her work with PCC, Aimee provides free healthcare for women in our communities, ensuring cost is never a barrier to support.
“Compassion, cultural respect, and listening can change lives, one woman at a time. On International Women’s Day, I’m proud to stand alongside the women I serve and celebrate their strength and resilience,” said Aimee.
By creating space for those moments, Aimee is helping to balance the scales — strengthening not only individual lives, but the wellbeing of our entire community.
PCC is proud to support women across our communities with access to our FREE Women’s Health Clinic. Supported by Nurse Aimee, and now with the addition of GP-led care increasing the support that can be provided, the clinic addresses the critical need for more health services for women.
