Family Planning Australia is committed to providing age-appropriate, evidence-based comprehensive sexuality education for all people across the lifespan. Our vision is to be a global leader in the provision of evidence-based comprehensive sexuality education.
Family Planning Australia advocates for the reproductive and sexual health and rights of everybody in every family, and supports people in our community who are marginalised and vulnerable.
We advocate for reproductive and sexual health rights at state, national, and international levels by working with the NSW and Australian Government, foreign governments, UN agencies, local and international non-government organisations and partners.
In 2015, United Nations member states agreed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which included 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of global goals designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, education, health and wellbeing, peace and justice.
