Community Education
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
We know that reproductive and sexual health can sometimes feel difficult to talk about, but it's important for everyone to understand their bodies, know how to look after themselves, and stay safe.
The Health Promotion team at Family Planning Australia delivers engaging education sessions in schools, community services, and clinics.
Our staff are skilled at creating safe, comfortable spaces to discuss sensitive topics, and have extensive experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, people with disability, young people, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
