Women's Health program overview

Women's health makes up a large part of everyday general practice, from contraception, pregnancy and menopause to breast health, pelvic pain and mental health.

The Women's Health pathway is designed to progressively build the knowledge to diagnose and manage the women's health issues seen in primary care — from common presentations through to difficult and complex cases.

  • Manage common women's health issues with confidence, including menstrual problems, contraception, pregnancy and menopause.
  • Recognise and manage conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, infertility and breast health risks.
  • Handle difficult and complex cases, including pregnancy complications, premature ovarian insufficiency and incontinence.
  • Progress at your own pace through three certificate levels, fully online.
