Jennifer Gurry is an exemplar of a founder that remains focused on the clients her organisation Diamond Women supports; vulnerable women facing unplanned pregnancy. Witnessing the negative impact fragmentated health plans had on these women, she launched Diamond Women to provide continuity of care for clients throughout the perinatal period.
This holistic approach supports women (and families) through counselling, mentoring, peer-to-peer activities and one-on-one client support when accessing the health system, to reduce clients negative experiences and increase their trust in the system.
15 years later, Diamond Women has assisted over 3,500 clients, through 375,570 contact hours, in seven NSW LGA’s, all at no cost to clients.
