FPAA is a long-standing alliance of the key sexual and reproductive health organisations from each of the Australian states and territories and is their national policy and advocacy voice. Through the IPPF network FPAA links internationally with organisations of like mind, to further sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. Our work cuts across national government strategies and policy frameworks in the portfolios of health, education, gendered violence, e-safety, child sexual abuse and international development. FPAA members provide a wide range of integrated sexual and reproductive health services that include health promotion, prevention, early intervention, diagnosis, treatment and support. We build capacity and strengthen systems by translating the best available evidence into information and education for individuals, community, and health professionals. We are inspired by working in partnership with our priority populations which include people who are: young women of diverse genders and sexualities Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander of all abilities of all cultures While services, collaborations and cross-referral pathways may vary in each state or territory, our work is always intersectional. We feel privileged to be contributing to the bigger picture.  

Created in 1965, APROFA is a non-profit public interest organization with more than 50 years of experience in the defense of sexual and reproductive rights of all people. They provide sexual health care with a gender perspective and a rights-based approach that facilitates access and information on safe and effective contraceptive methods, allowing people to make decisions in tune with their lifestyles and thus avoid unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, prevent situations of gender-based violence and all those possibilities that come with the lack of information. They have developed a line of education, generating awareness and training activities for the educational community in general, families and health professionals, with the purpose that more people are trained in Comprehensive Sexuality Education and thus children and young people receive the tools and skills to live a life free of violence, without gender stereotypes, have negotiation strategies and inhabit the consent. They aspire to a world where all people are free to decide; free to seek a healthy and responsible sexual life; and a world where gender, gender identity and sexuality are free.
