Free online education modules for rural clinicians

The Facets of Rural Sexual Health online education modules are currently being updated and will be relaunched in late 2026.

The modules will be feature revised content, up-to-date references, and will be re-accredited with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

New certificates will be issued for each new module completed.

If you have previously registered for the modules, you'll receive communications from CERSH regarding the expected timeframes, and processes for accessing the new modules once they are released.
