Welcome to the AusCAPPS Community of Practice

About the AusCAPPS Network:

The Australian Contraception and Abortion Primary Care Practitioner Support Network (AusCAPPS) is an NHMRC funded online community of practice developed in partnership with the RACGP, RANZCOG, APNA, the PSA, and other key stakeholders for primary health care providers who are interested in increasing women's access to long acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) and medical abortion. GPs, practice nurses and pharmacists are invited to join. There is no cost to do so.

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

Please note: This online network facilitates discussion about sensitive topics. 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 sign up, you can disclose whether you provide LARC and medical abortion services. Disclosure of this information is designed to support clinician knowledge about local networks and available patient services. 

AusCAPPS Network will:

• Connect you with GPs, pharmacists and nurses around Australia who also provide LARC and medical abortion services
• Provide access to training and education opportunities relating to LARC insertion and medical abortion provision
• Enable you to put your questions to our expert network
• Give you access to resources, guidelines, referral forms and patient handouts
• Keep you connected with the latest news and research related to LARC and medical abortion
