In this episode, we hear from Dr Jenny Hunt, a public health physician with over 20 years' experience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Dr Hunt takes us through the significant updates and expansion to the Antenatal care chapter in the Third edition of the National Guide. Dr Hunt explains the new evidence in smoking, prevalence in syphilis screening, focus on weight gain and diet, and immunisation recommendation changes in this edition.

The National Guide is one of the most widely used clinical guidelines in Australia, supporting primary healthcare providers to understand what works in preventive healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
