Parents and Carers

When it comes to talking about sexuality and relationships with your child it can be a little awkward. What do they want to know? What should you tell them?

At Family Planning NSW we believe that there is no such thing as a silly question. We’re here to give you the answers and advice you need to help you navigate these questions with confidence.

We provide general and independent advice about your child and we have a range of resources available.

Our BodyTalk website is dedicated to young people under 25. This is also a useful website for parents to explore with their child.

Our Health Promotion team holds sexuality and relationships forums for parents and carers of children with disability. They’re held throughout the year all over New South Wales.

If you’d like some advice over the phone call our Talkline number 1 300 658 886.

Talk Soon, Talk Often is a great book developed for parents by WA Health (with contributions from Family Planning NSW).

We have an extensive disability resource collection available for use by parents of children with disability. This includes a range of easy-to-read books, DVDs and learning resources to help you start the conversation and teach important skills.
