NSW Health in partnership with International Students at UNSW have developed a series of five short online learning modules on sexual and reproductive health topics. 

Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is widely acknowledged to be a significant concern for international students in universities. International students come to Australia with varying levels of SRH education. Adapting to a new environment can be challenging and presents possible risks to their health, wellbeing and education attainment.

Working in partnership with the UNSW Health Promotion Unit (HPU), a dedicated group of students expressed keen interest in further advancing the development of this module, aiming to create a safe and supportive space for international students to seek guidance and understanding on a topic that may not be openly discussed in their cultural context.

Fifth year international medical student, Si Thu Zin, with the support of Jane Xu and Gladys Tam, led this project.
