What’s new
With the Syphilis outbreak continuing across Australia, you may be looking for resources to help tackle the outbreak in your local area.
The Young Deadly Free website has all our videos relating to the syphilis outbreak in one handy area – click here to check them out.
A major focus of the outbreak response is preventing further cases of congenital syphilis. With this in mind, and with feedback from clinical staff in outbreak regions, we developed Antenatal Care: Taking Care of yourself, your baby and each other, a video focusing on the importance of antenatal care which gently sneaks in messaging about the importance of STI testing during pregnancy.
