About the AusCAPPS Network:

Established in July 2021 through an NHMRC partnership grant, the Australian Contraception and Abortion Primary Care Practitioner Support (AusCAPPS) Network is now supported by the Department of Health and Aged Care. It will continue to work with the RACGP, RANZCOG, PSA, SHV, FPA, SHINE SA, True, SHQ, APNA, ACNP, ACM, Children by Choice and other key stakeholders for primary health care providers who are interested in increasing women's access to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) and early medical abortion (EMA).

GPs, practice nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives and pharmacists, and any clinicians with an AHPRA registration involved in the provision of LARC or EMA are invited to join this free online community.

This Community of Practice is designed to help you as a clinician connect with your peers and access expert knowledge and information.

This online network facilitates discussion about sensitive topics on delivering women’s sexual and reproductive health care. Please be assured that the site is moderated by expert clinicians and the AusCAPPS team. If you have concerns around privacy, or any other issues that may arise, please contact ausCAPPS.trial@monash.edu

Upon signing up to the AusCAPPS Network, you can disclose whether you provide LARC and/or EMA services. This information is designed to support clinician knowledge about local networks and available patient services.

Connect you with General Practitioners (GPs), practice nurses, nurse practitioners, midwives, Aboriginal Health Practitioners, and community pharmacists around Australia who have an interest in providing LARC and EMA services
Allow you to discuss case studies, post questions, and chat with peers and expert clinicians
Find another LARC and/or EMA providers near you and build local networks
