The National Association of Specialist Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (NASOG) is the leading representative body for specialist obstetricians and gynaecologists (O&G) in Australia, with a focus on supporting and advocating for those working in private practice. As a politically independent, not-for-profit organisation, NASOG is uniquely positioned to address critical issues affecting the profession and the continued delivery of high-quality healthcare to Australian women.
NASOG is committed to preserving a balanced and complementary healthcare system that supports both private and public maternity and gynaecological services. The association actively champions a collaborative model of maternity care, which benefits both patients and practitioners.
With a high media profile and regular engagement with key stakeholders, NASOG is vocal on policies around the provision of O&G services. The association develops evidence-based submissions, expert papers and systemic funding proposals to address issues like access, affordability and sustainability in the specialty.
NASOG also engages with members through council representation, forums and collaboration with other healthcare stakeholders, ensuring its advocacy reflects the needs and concerns of the profession. Through its work, NASOG aims to secure the future of private O&G care in Australia while supporting a strong public system.
