SHFPACT’s Schools Disability Program supports the growth and learning of students with disabilities in Canberra, with regard to their social safety, and sexual and reproductive health needs.

Through the provision of one-to-one education and workshops to people with disabilities, SHFPACT aims to support positive sexual health choices and strengthen preventative approaches.

The Sexual Health, Lifestyle and Referral Program (SHLiRP) is a collaboration between Sexual Health and Family Planning ACT (SHFPACT) and The Canberra Sexual Health Centre, located at The Canberra Hospital, that brings sexual health screening clinics, and sexual health / sexuality education to secondary colleges in the ACT.

The SHLiRP Project visits up to four ACT secondary colleges per year to offer sexuality and sexual health education, as well as in-school clinics to offer screening for sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and blood-bourne viruses (BBVs).

For more information, please contact Ren Del Rosario at The Canberra Sexual Health Centre on 02 6244 2184.

SHFPACT offers a range of services to support youth workers in the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions, including nationally accredited training in Sexuality Education, a Library & Resource Centre wth sexuality education aids, and program development & evaluation support for youth workers implementing their own sexuality education programs.  

SHFPACT has also developed a range of workshops and education sessions for students in ACT schools, ranging from Primary School through to College, which can be delivered by male and/or female educators on request.
