This program applies to students who commenced in 2024 or later.

The Graduate Diploma in Obstetric and Gynecological Sonography provides graduate entry training in obstetric and gynecological ultrasound imaging. It integrates online and on-campus learning activities with the students’ workplace training in sonography practice. The workplace training will consist at a minimum, of 24 hours a week for the duration of the program (equal to 2300 hours), which is the benchmark set to be considered eligible for accreditation with the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry. Students will develop theoretical, practical and professional skills that are essential for the practice of obstetric and gynecological sonography and for further professional development.
