For International Students
Welcome to Australia!
There are some things that we want you to know about sexual health so that you can have a great time and take care of yourself.
The eLearning module consists of a comprehensive online sexual health education course, accompanied by a series of informative YouTube videos discussing: dating; healthy relationships; consent; sexual health and STIs; and pregnancy, contraception and abortion.
