Few people can genuinely claim to have changed the course of healthcare but Caroline de Costa could do just that. Not that she would, for her - pioneering change and fighting for women's rights in healthcare is just part of the all-encompassing job of an obstetrician.
With a career spanning decades, Caroline has been on the frontline of ensuring women have active choice over their reproductive health, from fighting for abortion rights in Ireland early in her career, to pioneering access to medical abortion services in Australia. Those rights are still under attack and so to take inspiration from Caroline's work is particularly galvanising.
Join Kara in this fascinating conversation with Caroline, the first female professor of Obstetrics in Australia, author and trailblazer.
