As the leading sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services provider in Samoa, the Samoa Family Health Association (SFHA) delivers family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH) services in Samoa through a permanent clinic in Apia, and a mobile unit which visits rural areas and the outer islands three times a week to provide educational and contraceptive services to vulnerable communities. The association as the leading and champions of SRHR within the country has been very active for the past years also acting as an advisor on SRHR to the Government of Samoa. The Association also works closely with other NGOs and private sector in the provision of services and this is result in the association signing MoU with a Japanese organization called the Yazaki Eds Samoa Limited which is an Automotive Supplier Plant that is based in Apia. The MoU creates an enabling environment for the association to provide SRHR services both awareness and clinically workers at the Yazaki Eds factory. 

The Sexual Health and Family Planning Australia (SH&FPA) is a non grant-receiving Associate and also functions as a federation that comprises sexual health and family planning organizations across the country. It is the national voice of these organizations and represents their interests and perspectives at national and international levels. Projects are shared among these member organizations within Australia and outside of the country, SH&FPA works in partnership primarily with sister IPPF Member Associations. SH&FPA maintains a dynamic international programme in South East Asia and the Pacific. The major strategies of the programme are focused on enhancing the management and delivery of sexual and reproductive health care and education delivered by or with local organizations in a sustainable setting. AusAID funds most of this work. For up to 80 years, SH&FPA member organizations in each state and territory have looked after the sexual and reproductive health needs of a large number of Australians. SH&FPA member organizations provide a wide range of sexual and reproductive health services that focus on prevention, early intervention, diagnosis and treatment, and community and professional education. Member organizations deliver clinical services, which include pap smears, breast checks, sexually transmitted infection (STI) checks and counselling services (including HIV), consultations, counselling and provision of contraceptives, pregnancy tests and counselling, treatment and counselling for menopause problems, and information and education services for the public around reproduction, contraceptive methods and relationships and self-esteem.
