The Australian Women’s Health Alliance has developed a suite of online learning modules that supports learners to understand and apply a gender-responsive approach to health and prevention.
The Introduction to Gender-Responsive Health e-learning course contains:
- 2 foundational modules about gender and health equity (1 and 2)
- 3 bonus modules (3, 4 and 5) for a deeper dive into frameworks, policies and actions to help drive change
- additional resources to return to in future for continuous professional development or activities with colleagues and workplaces.
About the 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.
This course is for workplaces and individuals wanting to learn more about gender-responsive health, including health professionals, researchers, policy makers and students, as well as those who aspire to enter the health sector.
It is suitable to complete in your own time or rolled out in workplaces for teams to complete together.
Our training modules support users to:
- increase their understanding of gender-responsive health
- gain knowledge of practical examples of gender-responsive approaches to health and prevention
- use clear language to communicate about gender equity in health and prevention
- reflect on their own context and identify actions to strengthen their approach to gender-responsive health in practice.
