Family Planning Australia provides clinical skills workshop and supervised clinical placements for the FPAA National Certificate in Reproductive and Sexual Health.

The clinical placement requires participants to attend a clinical skills workshop day to demonstrate their understanding of essential practical skills prior to their placement.

Participants will then have an opportunity to meet core competencies across a 32-hour placement in Family Planning Australia clinics. In conjunction with our experienced clinical instructors in Newington, Penrith, Hunter, and Fairfield, course participants will gain hands-on experience with the appropriate range of reproductive and sexual health issues required to complete your course. This may include history taking, contraception, cervical screening, STIs, pregnancy options, and men's health.

This placement is only available to participants who have completed the FPAA National Certificate in Reproductive and Sexual Health for Doctors (Theory) course within the last 24   months.
