RANZCOG trains and accredits doctors throughout Australia and New Zealand in the specialties of obstetrics and gynaecology so that they are capable, professionally and psychologically, of providing the highest standards of healthcare.

RANZCOG has responsibility for the continuing professional development of practitioners in women’s health, including both specialist obstetricians and gynaecologists and GP obstetricians.

The College also supports research into women’s health and acts as an advocate for women’s healthcare by forging productive relationships with individuals, the community and professional organisations, both locally and internationally.
