There is much discussion about quality information in the primary health care sector but despite the plethora of health information available to consumers, information provision processes and tools for determining the quality of health information are generally not available. This project report first makes visible the framework and processes within which quality telephone health information is provided for consumers by this statewide women's health organisation. Second, it reports on the development of a quality resources package which aims to enhance access to quality health information by consumers. The project provides some benchmarks for quality information processes for providers and producers of information as well as making quality information available for consumers.

This paper outlines some of the problems facing women as Internet users. In the context of exponential growth of the Internet, issues of access and motivation, content and quality are examined. Recent studies on gender and equity and the relevance of the Internet to women, particularly rural and remote women, are considered. As women will only get 'a fair go' on the Internet when they know how to use the technology and participate in the areas that matter, this paper concludes with practical guidelines for setting up a website.
