About our training

Gender-responsive health

The Australian Women's Health Alliance is developing a suite of online learning modules that support learners to better understand and apply a gender-responsive approach to health and prevention. 

Our aim is to ensure health care professionals, administrators, policy makers and community groups are equipped with the resources and knowledge necessary to deliver people-centred health and social care.

Our practical course is ideal for a range of settings including:
  • public health
  • universities and schools
  • private health
  • workplaces
  • government 
  • community services and settings
Our course

Check out our course

Women and gender diverse people experience health, illness and health care differently to men.
This course aims to increase understanding about these differences and how
gender-responsive approaches can improve health equity.  

Real knowledge

We want everyone to know how to take gender into account when: providing health care or social care, working with clients, writing policy or delivering programs. We break down the information to make it simple and accessible.

Learning materials

We designed the resources in this course to be engaging and informative. The modules are easy to follow and are divided into chapters which contain reading, writing and multimedia activities.
Course contents

We don't just train you to pass a course, we train you to help people 

There is no shortcut to knowledge. To effectively support the health and wellbeing of your community, you need to constantly build your skills and expertise. Our course is a powerful tool to add to your person-centred 'toolbox'. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish.

“Great content”

This was such a well produced module - great content - good site - relevant questions - clear articulation of education outcomes - ample opportunity for contributions from the attendees - well done !
A/Prof Antonio Di Dio, medical practitioner

“I learned a lot”

I thought the course was excellent. I'm a beginner in gendered health and I learned a lot. I have a background in gender (employment, DFV and homelessness) but not health, so this was helpful for me.

“Relevance for GP clinic”

I think it has relevance for GP clinic practice managers and industry bodies to provide to their membership, perhaps secondary school curricula.
