On completion of this eLearning course, health professionals should be able to recognise and understand the disparity in Indigenous stillbirth rates compared to non-Indigenous stillbirth rates, have a better understanding of the historical and contemporary issues that impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women’s health, and recognise the importance of culturally safe care in health to improve care and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and communities.

The course includes a total of 5 self-paced learning modules, each taking approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
