Improving rural and regional access to long-acting reversible contraception and medical abortion through nurse-led models of care, task-sharing and telehealth
- Free online accredited LARC and EMA training
- An online educational outreach session to discuss practical strategies for implementing the nurse-led model, tailored to each practice
- Enrolment into the AusCAPPS Network, an Australia-wide virtual community of practice that connects EMA and LARC providers through peer-networking opportunities and access to resources and training
- Reimbursement and continuing professional development points
We are in the final phases of the study and are currently undertaking the process evaluation and health economic evaluation (2025/26).
This project is supported by the Medical Research Future Fund.
