RANZCOG recognises that our Members face stressful situations on a day-to-day basis in both their personal lives and in their demanding yet rewarding professions. This can sometimes result in difficulty maintaining self-care and a healthy work/life balance, which can be detrimental to your physical and mental health.
To take care of others, you must first take care of yourself. Being proactive about your mental health and wellbeing is important for your professional and personal lives. Being proactive involves discussing and recognising symptoms and seeking appropriate professional support when needed.
Our Member Support Program, Converge, provides confidential support to RANZCOG Trainees, SIMGs and Fellows (and their immediate family members) across Australia and New Zealand.
Support is available through access to qualified and experienced counsellors on a range of issues including:
All sessions are entirely confidential, and your first four sessions within any 12-month timeframe are fully subsidised by the College. Sessions may be face-to-face, by video conference or by phone.
