Invitation

The RANZCOG is convening an Indigenous women’s health meeting, with the aim of bringing together health professionals across the country with the common interest and desire to improve the health and well-being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women.

The meeting will have a diverse program of presentations covering cultural issues, current public health information, clinical topics and medico-political opinions. Delegates will gain information on what’s happening in different regions of the country, as well as being informed on broader issues. The meeting will also provide a forum to develop valuable networks, and to assist the College in developing a more active role in improving the health of Indigenous women.

The RANZCOG extends an invitation to all health professionals who work with Indigenous women as part of their practice, or have a strong interest in this area register for this important event.

Meeting Logo

The meeting logo 'The Cycle of Strong Women' has been designed by artist Duwun Lee and represents:

The four figures in the design are the Mother, Grandmother, Daughter and Granddaughter.

A strong, healthy and loving woman is the backbone of the family and community.

When an Aboriginal woman is strong she creates future generations of caring, loving, and nurturing women through her stories, dances and the example she sets.
