Family Planning NSW Shop
The Family Planning NSW Shop has a range of up-to-date and credible resources widely used by clinicians, teachers, youth workers, and parents on issues ranging from contraception to puberty, sexual health for young people, and people with disabilities.
In line with our commitment to training teachers in the sexual health component of the PDHPE curriculum, we develop resources for schools such as contraceptive kits, which include examples of contraception options to ensure young people are informed of the choices available.
The disability resources we develop are highly regarded, not just by disability workers, but also by carers and parents who are often forgotten when it comes to supporting material for reproductive and sexual health education. Our resources are written in simple English and targeted toward people with an intellectual disability, ensuring they understand and feel supported when it comes to their reproductive and sexual health.
