Course Details
We know that reproductive and sexual health can sometimes be difficult to talk about.
We believe it is incredibly important for each of us to know and understand all parts of our bodies, how to look after ourselves and how to stay safe.
The health promotion team at Family Planning Australia are available to visit your school or service to talk about a range of related topics with groups. You’re also welcome to bring a group to visit us if you’d like to see what a reproductive and sexual health clinic looks like in real life.
Our staff are skilled in delivering information about these sensitive topics in a way that helps participants learn in a safe and comfortable environment.
