IT'S BEEN 21 years since the Gympie and District Women's Health Centre was funded by Queensland Health.

It provides an information, referral and counselling service for women living in the Gympie district.

It also offers breast cancer support groups, health promotions and a meditation group.

The organisation opened in September 1994, in office space rented from the council at the Gympie Town Hall.

Demand was immediate and it moved to larger premises in Lawrence St in 1999, then to its present site at Alfred St in 2008.

IT'S BEEN 21 years since the Gympie and District Women's Health Centre was set up and opened.

To celebrate, the centre is holding an All About You women's expo at the Gympie Civic Centre tomorrow from 9am until 2pm.

Event co-ordinator Michelle Agnew said a huge range of health providers and services would be represented.

"There will be 60 exhibitors, mostly local women offering products, services and health advice," she said.

Those exhibitors range from fashion houses, makeup and skin care products, beauty therapy services, massage, yoga and relaxation techniques, a party plan business, healthy food choices including a frozen meals service, as well as household goods, handcrafts and baby wear.

"There will be just about everything on show, perhaps even the kitchen sink," she laughed.

"It will be a shopping extravaganza."

However, there is no ATM facility on site, so people are reminded they will need to bring cash.

The cost of entry is a gold-coin donation.
