Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology home
Our department is dedicated to advancing women’s and newborns' health and educating future healthcare professionals. We contribute to undergraduate medical teaching across multiple sites and deliver specialised units in fetal and neonatal development and reproductive physiology for Biomedical Science and Science students. Alongside our globally recognised postgraduate program in Reproduction and Development, we offer professional short courses in obstetrics, gynaecology and sexual health, while leading innovative teaching and education research. Our work is underpinned by the Ritchie Centre—one of Australia’s leading perinatal and women’s health research hubs—where, in partnership with Monash Health and its clinical services, we drive research that translates into better care and outcomes for women and newborns.
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology is one of the departments within the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health.
