RANZCOG Strategic Plan
The strategic plan outlines our key areas of priority for the years ahead, enabling the College to deliver on its mission and vision.
To enable RANZCOG to deliver on our mission, and vision of ‘excellence and equity in women’s health’, the strategic plan outlines our key areas of priority for the years ahead, guiding the College as we consolidate our position as the peak body for obstetrics and gynaecology and women’s health in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
While the delivery of education and training is RANZCOG’s core business, the College is also focused on several key objectives to support members and trainees in delivering the best possible health outcomes for women and their families, as outlined in the 2022-2024 Strategic Plan.
