Most Australians want and expect to have children.
But many are not aware of the range of modifiable lifestyle factors that affect male and female fertility.
As a health or education professional, you can help by sharing evidence-based information on optimising fertility and pre-conception health.
View our resources to help you start conversations with your clients and patients about fertility, pregnancy and having a healthy baby.
Your Fertility is brought to you by the Fertility Coalition: Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority, Healthy Male, Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University and The Robinson Research Institute.
