The work that the School undertakes in this space has been invited by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community partners, who have sought a collaborative community-led approach.

Our researchers investigate access to reproductive health services and broader sexual and reproductive health needs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. This includes menstrual health and hygiene; access to sexual and reproductive health services such as cervical cancer screening, contraception and pregnancy termination; and the uptake, safety and birth outcomes for mothers who receive an influenza vaccination during pregnancy. Through culturally informed models of care, we also seek to expand testing for sexually transmitted infections and bloodborne viruses for Indigenous people who inject drugs.
