Sexual Health and Family Planning Australia (SH&FPA) is a specialist health agency working to improve the sexual and reproductive health of Australians. It also runs an International Program, which makes Australian expertise available to developing countries in South East Asia and the Pacific.

Mission

SH&FPAs International Program promotes at national and international levels the objectives of family planning organisations to enable people to achieve reproductive and sexual health and well-being in the context of a sustainable environment.

We ascribe to and endorse the International Planned Parenthood Federation Charter on Sexual and Reproductive Rights. This rights-based approach is consistent with the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Program of Action, developed in Cairo in 1994. At the heart of the Program of Action is the recognition that population policies that promote personal choice and human rights, and which are integrated with broader development goals such as poverty alleviation and gender equity, are effective both in improving quality of life and stabilising population levels.
