Clinician’s guide to women and girls’ health

Welcome to the Clinician’s guide to women and girls’ health - a podcast dedicated to supporting the lifelong wellbeing of women and girls. Every woman and girl deserve to thrive - physically, emotionally, and socially. Healthcare professionals play a vital role in empowering women and girls to advocate for their health, participate fully in society, and navigate each stage of life with confidence. An initiative of Health and Wellbeing Queensland and funded by Clinical Excellence Queensland, this series equips clinicians with expert insights and practical tools to support women and girls from early adolescence through to menopause and beyond. Informed by more than 10,000 voices - consumers and professionals alike - through Queensland’s Women and Girls’ Health Strategy 2032 and the Clinical Excellence Queensland Showcase Survey, our conversations reflect real needs and lived experiences. Across the season, we’ll speak with leading Queensland health experts to explore topics spanning adolescence, young adulthood, motherhood, midlife, menopause, and ageing. Together, we’ll unpack the sensitive, complex, and often overlooked aspects of care that shape a woman’s health journey. Tune in to deepen your clinical knowledge, strengthen your practice, and help women and girls take charge of their health - at every age and every stage.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
